Grunk is a weird blueish alien slime, similar to Starcraft's zerg creep or Minecraft's sculk. It spreads like a slime mold, infesting whatever it touches.
The player is employed (sentenced) to harvest grunk, which is a somewhat valuable commodity used in the production of "blue avocado" artificial flavoring.
Grunk can be cleared using the [[spray beam]] or [[toothbrush]]. #mechanics components must have a continuous [[grunk]] connection to an [[alarm]] to activate it.
