Banquet of Conspiracy
The Grunties were loved by all creatures with the exception of the bitterly jealous humans.
This was because all of the things that made Grunties so wonderful had once belonged to the humans.
Humans began to look for Grunties’ weaknesses and learned of the curse that Sol had cast on them. Overjoyed, the humans next set out to learn the secret word, but even the normally talkative monkey would not betray the secret word.
So the humans held a banquet and invited all the gods and creatures in order to fog their minds with drink.
One after another, the guests became intoxicated until finally only the snake, the strongest drinker, remained. The snake still would not tell the secret word, so the humans brought out their strongest drink and gave it to the snake. As expected, the snake became drunk and told the secret word to the humans.
The humans rejoiced and intoned the words.
Immediately, the Grunties lost their intelligence and found themselves unable to stand upright.
The humans called them Puchi Pongo and made them into their beasts of burden. Then they proceeded to continue their war against the other races.
For telling the secret words, the snake was punished by having to forever crawl about the earth on its stomach.
