The '''grinade''' (formerly '''SmileRock''') is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'', it is a weaker, yellowish variant of the [[rockbomb]].
 
The '''Grinade''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}. First appearing in {{Dragon Quest VII}}, it is a weaker, yellowish variant of the [[Rockbomb]].


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
In terms of appearance, the grinade is identical to the rockbomb, but being of a yellowish shade.  
In terms of appearance, the grinade is identical to the [[rockbomb]], but made up of yellowish-orange rock instead, with the same familiar red eyes and jagged smiles. They are generally the weakest of their [[Material family|rocky]] relations. These smiling yellow bold boulders must rely on physical attacks, since they have yet to develop the spark that allows them to explode or self-sacrifice like their brethren. They allow adventurers to let their guards down and then save up their strength to launch themselves at their foes, full force by using their '''[[Focus Strength]]''' skill.  Sometimes they just simple spend a turn just staring, and others they find something funny enough to blindly fling themselves at the enemy, cackling madly.
 
Grinades are generally the weakest of their [[Material family|rocky]] relations. These smiling yellow boulders must rely on physical attacks, since they have yet to be given any appearances where they can explode or use similarly self-sacrificial skills. They allow adventurers to let their guards down and save up their strength to launch themselves at full force.

Grinades appeared from the beginning of the game. Like before, they will cackle insanely and launch attacks and can waste their turns by grinning maliciously, as well as building up their power with [[Muster Strength]]. Starting with Version 1.4, it gained a [[Rarefied monster|rarefied]] version in the form of the [[Cursed rock]].

==Trivia==
* The grinade's name is taken from grin, a type of smile, and grenade, an explosive used in warfare. This naming is presently a misnomer, as none of the Grinade's current appearances show it able to sacrifice itself in any way, unlike its relatives, save for its appearance in {{XI}} where it can use [[Self Destruct]] during the sidequest involving the [[Rainbow Mines]].
