Apart from being a {{wp|pig}}, the inspiration for Grumpig may be the Biblical phrase {{wp|Pearls before swine|"...neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you"}} from {{wp|Gospel of Matthew|Matthew 7:6}}. The pearls were supposed to represent wisdom given to an audience who would not appreciate the teachings. Grumpig and {{p|Spoink}} appear to instead use those pearls of wisdom to enhance their psychic powers. | |||
