These guardians help fend off the mobs, and you can upgrade or remove them at any time to adjust your strategy. It's designed to be easy for new players to pick up, while offering plenty of depth for those who want to experiment with different tactics! Grub Guardian Key Features: * Assess Your Pets' Maturity Level: Take your personal pet to battle to defend what's yours from the hordes - take care of them and they'll take care of you! * Upgraded Rewards: Rewards have been refreshed with modern updates to better match today's Wizard101 gameplay, giving you more relevant and exciting incentives every time you play. * No Wizard101? No Problem: Players aren't required to have a separate Wizard101 account if they want to play Grub Guardian, but players who live in North America that have an existing Wizard101 account will be able to transfer Grub rewards earned in-game to their account!
