First appearance | Dragon Quest VII |
The grinade (originally SmileRock) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VII, it is a weaker, yellowish variant of the rockbomb.
Characteristics
In terms of appearance, the grinade is identical to the rockbomb, but being of a yellowish shade.
Grinades are generally the weakest of their rocky relations. They must rely on physical attacks, since they have yet to be given any appearances where they can explode or use similarly self-sacrificial skills.
Appearances
Dragon Quest VII
The grinade (then SmileRock) can be found in the Time Pocket Cave, Baloch's Tower, the Hamelia region in the past and Mount Probina in the past.

Description | These suspiciously sprightly stones merrily maul opponents, beaming all the while, and bring their boulder buddies into battle. Although rough and ready in their younger years, the hard edges wear off with time, and most make well-rounded adults. |

Etymology
Grinade 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.
