Grubfoot is a small goblin initially found in the same hut as General Wartface and General Bentnoze. He is actually an intelligent, peace-loving goblin who hates being bossed around by the generals.
Quests
- In Goblin Diplomacy, Grubfoot (by order of General Wartface and General Bentnoze) tries on a few sets of armour so the Generals can decide what their new colour should be. In the end, they choose brown, which is what they started with.
- In Another Slice of H.A.M., Grubfoot says he had a dream of Zanik being the "chosen one". Players can speak to him to start the Land of the Goblins quest.
- In Land of the Goblins, Grubfoot begins the quest. He is trying to gain access to Dorgesh-Kaan to speak with Zanik (the Chosen Commander), but Mistag tells him surface-goblins are not allowed, by law. In the end, the player escorts him into Dorgesh-Kaan.
- In The Chosen Commander, Grubfoot is captured by Sigmund and the player has to free him without the H.A.M. guards noticing. Grubfoot is kept in the jail of the new H.A.M base, underneath the windmill owned by Milton the Miller, being painfully interrogated by Sigmund and his splinter group. He says he was trying to reach Dorgesh-Kaan to go and live there, because he would feel comfier there than the Goblin Village, where he was bullied by generals Bentnoze and Wartface and the rest of the goblins of the village. During their escape of the base, the player and Grubfoot are spotted by the cell guard, but ultimately Grubfoot freezes him with a magic spell. The player is surprised to see that Grubfoot, and goblins overall, could use magic. Grubfoot answers to this by saying that in his village, the use of magic was frowned upon (possibly due to the intelligence mages tend to have and Bandos' little patience of mages), although it was something he could do from long ago. Shortly afterwards, he manages to enter the city. At the end of the quest, he decides to work with Oldak and can be found near him.
Trivia
- If asked about his capture, he will tell the player that he was trying to go to Dorgesh-Kaan, but he apparently got ambushed by some H.A.M members. When he shouted for help, the unhelpful and goblin-wary Lumbridge guardsmen simply laughed at him, and called him a stupid goblin.
- Following the release of The Chosen Commander, Grubfoot could also still be found in the Goblin Village after the quest (with post-Land of the Goblins/pre-Chosen Commander dialogue), despite having "moved" to Dorgesh-Kaan. This was fixed on 4 January 2011.
