+==Characteristics==
-The Grinade is a weaker palette swap of the [[Rockbomb]]. As such, it doesn't have access to the Rockbomb's usual Sacrifice spell.
+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.

+==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.
