Grenuke slugs stick to any surface and explode!
Attacks[]
- Protoform Abilities - Shoots sparks.
- Mushboom - Timed explosion, powerful targeted blast with a mushroom cloud.
- Nuklock - Can grab and hold tight to almost any surface before it explodes.
- Spikesploder - Shoots segments from its body as it flies, segments stick to walls and explode in tandem.
Analysis[]
Grenukes are slugs used as explosive artillery by many slingers who tend to bash their way through an opponent. Mushboom is a move which shares lots of things in common with a Hop Rock's Sploder move, as both moves involve the slugs getting close and blowing up dealing a lot of damage to foes and structures. Nuklock deals damage relatively slow but has devastating effects if it connects on a living target. Spikesploder is a really powerful move that can be used for raw destruction and strategy. It is weak against Arachnets and Jellyish slugs, and its move set leaves little room for defense and strategy.

Trivia[]
- Grenukes are both designed and named after grenades, a well known explosive.
- In The Slugout, it is called a Grenuker instead of Grenuke.
- In an earlier version of Battle For Slugterra, Eli's named Grenuke is mistakenly called Banger, which is the name of Eli's Armashelt. It was corrected soon afterwards.
- People in Quiet Lawn Cavern keep silent because they live under a colony of Grenuke Slugs that rest on the roof of the cavern. If disturbed or scared by noises, the Grenukes could fall from their sleeping place, activate, and cause explosions.
- However, during the first Slugout between Eli and Billy, they do not look bothered at all by the noise of the duel and keep sleeping. They do activate later when Pronto throws a Sonic Snare that produces a low sound against the Slugs. This caused many of them to scream, fall from their sleeping place, and activate their explosive power.
- This could mean that these Slugs hear a different range of noises from humans, like dogs or other animals can hear ultrasounds and/or infrasounds, that humans cannot hear.

- Unlike the rest of the fire Slugs, the Grenuke slug has no red in its color scheme, instead having a green color scheme.
- A Megamorph is first spotted in the slugisode The Good, The Bad, and The Larry. Its Velocimorph however has only ever been seen in SIO1 & SIO2.
- Sometimes a Grenuke Slug has been seen transforming into a Hop Rock's velocimorph for unknown reasons.
