The Grassknotter is the ninth grasshopper in the game. It can only be obtained in limited time events.
Appearance[]
The Grassknotter is a variant of the Grasshopper, with a golden-yellow head, a red body and brown legs. Golden-yellow is also the colour of its wings, which have red veins. Its antennae are red, with golden-yellow bulbs on the tops. Around its thorax, near its head, is a golden string tied with a traditional square-holed Chinese coin attached to its back.
Description[]
Grasshopper wearing a lovely Chinese knot.

Tips for Boss Mission[]
The Grassknotter boss mission is quite difficult if the grasshopper habitat is not level 6, with the player being required to jump through a scatter of giant coins. There is enough space between for the player to easily pick out where they want to land without having to change their decision, but due to the Grassknotter's inability to turn in mid-air, the player has to be very decisive and keep very steady. The player will find it much easier to complete this mission if they have a level 6 habitat, allowing the Grassknotter to turn in mid-air to better avoid rocks.
