Gritty Burrow (Gritty, GB) is a dungeon located east in Exbel; southeast of Friendship Forest and north of Ash Forest. The move Rock Smash is required to enter. The dungeon has 15 floors, but instead of exiting the dungeon at the last floor, the player must traverse back to Floor 1, starting at 15.
The player arrives here after first descending 15 floors, and gets attacked briefly by a Linoone.
[Player Name]: ...
(You hear... Footsteps...?)
THWOMP!!!
(You feel a painful aching on the back of your head...)
(You feel dizzy... What was that all about...?)
There is a healing bed and a Durant named Qril.
Qril: Not many pass through these deep parts of the underground burrows network. It's tough, cold and damp out here, so watch yourself.
Boss
The player surfaces to the entrance of the dungeon again, and is approached by a Linoone, Zangoose, and Diggersby. Together they inhabit and also protect the Gritty Burrow, and engage in battle to repel the player who they deem an intruder.

Trivia
Gritty Burrow was created by Syni.
Gritty Burrow is the revamped version of Gritty Hollow.
Secret Rooms used to appear while ascending but took the player back down a floor. The Secret Rooms were moved to the descending floors to prevent this from happening.
