This quest is one of the four new 6.2.2 Winter Veil quests. It rewards Merry Supplies which are redeemable at your garrison event coordinator: Izzy Hollyfizzle for both Horde and Alliance.

**UPDATE - the objective Unusual Gift for quest What Horrible Presents! has been hotfixed to respawn very quickly!**

This is one of the four garrison daily quests introduced for Winter Veil 2015. It rewards Merry Supplies, used for various items. Below is a guide to earning and spending this currency.

EARNING Merry Supplies Each holiday has 4 associated daily quests. Three of these quests reward 1 Merry Supplies each, and one rewards 2 (for a total of 5 Merry Supplies per day). All of the quests require a level 100 character with a level 3 garrison. All Winter's Veil quests are completed in a quest area in Frostfire Ridge, centered around roughly (45,28). Merry Supplies are used exclusively for items sold by Izzy Hollyfizzle - mostly garrison decorations. After you have acquired all 5 different Winter's Veil decorations and the toy (Crashin' Thrashin' Killdozer Controller), the Merry Supplies can be used to purchase Savage Gifts from Izzy Hollyfizzle (5 supplies each). Below is a chart outlining the quests: Quest	Objectives	Reward	Notes
Where Are the Children?	Draenei Child	Merry Supplies X 1	Free 5 children from cages in the quest area.
What Horrible Presents!	Unusual Gift	Merry Supplies X 1	Use the supplied Spirit Bomb and place the targeting circle over Unusual Gifts in the quest area to complete this.
Menacing Grumplings	Grumpling	Merry Supplies X 1	Kill 8 Grumplings in the quest area.
Grumpus	Grumpus	Merry Supplies X 2	Kill Grumpus, a mini-boss with close to 2 million health.

SPENDING Merry Supplies

Below are the items that can be purchased for Merry Supplies.

Item

Cost	Notes
Ball of Tangled Lights	Merry Supplies X 5	This decoration places Christmas lights all over your garrison. These do not appear to glow or emit any light of their own, though.
Imported Trees	Merry Supplies X 5	This decoration places many Christmas trees around your garrison, with presents around them. Note that the presents are purely decorative, and cannot be interacted with.
Little Helpers	Merry Supplies X 5	This decoration puts pairs of Lil' Snowfighters in your garrison (I counted a total of 5 pairs, 10 total) that throw snowballs at each other periodically, and spawns Lil' Ralph, a festively garbed dancing goblin. It also puts a PX-238 Winter Wondervolt machine just outside your garrison town hall that will transform your into a Little Helper. Useful for the Winter Veil achievement With a Little Helper from My Friends.
Festive Outfits	Merry Supplies X 5	This decoration dresses your guards in festive Christmas outfits (i.e. green or red Santa hats with or without Santa suits). It appears to be random as to how completely your guards will be dressed - some will have only Santa hats, while others will have a full Santa garb. Note that Ugly Christmas Sweaters are not part of these outfits!
Old Box of Decorations	Merry Supplies X 5	This decoration places candy canes along the edges of the paths in your garrison, and within your town hall will place a few hanging mistletoe and stockings.
Savage Gift	Merry Supplies X 5	Gift that contains ONE of the following: - 300 Oil - 300 Garrison Resources - 1000 Apexis Crystal - Medallion of the Legion - Frozen Arms of a Hero - Elixir of the Rapid Mind - Minion of Grumpus
Crashin' Thrashin' Killdozer Controller	Merry Supplies X 5	A toy that is part of the Crashin' Thrashin' Iron Armada set (collecting them all grants the achievement Iron Armada)

Some notes about the decorations outlined above:

Each character can buy 1 decoration per day, as the four dailies for each holiday provide a total of 5 Merry Supplies per day.

The decorations are account bound, and can be sent to your other characters. As such, you can do the dailies on 4 alts and have all 5 decorations on your main on a single day!
They can only be displayed in a level 3 garrison.
Multiple decorations can be active in your garrison simultaneously.
Right-clicking a decoration to "use" it applies the effect described above to your garrison, and consumes the item. This effectively "unlocks" that decoration for your character, and it will be applied any time you choose after that.
You can speak to Izzy Hollyfizzle and select "The party's over. Get rid of these decorations, Izzy." to remove the decorations.

If you have cancelled the garrison decoration as above, speaking to Izzy again and selecting "Make my garrison ready for a Winter Veil party." will reapply all Winter Veil decorations you have unlocked.
If you have unlocked more than one decoration, the above actions (to remove or restore the decorations) will do so to ALL decorations from the specified holiday, not just selected ones.

Decorations for Winter Veil and those for Hallow's Eve are mutually exclusive - you can only have Hallow's Eve or Winter Veil decorations active at any given time, and not both simultaneously.

You can switch from Winter Veil to Hallow's Eve decorations and vice versa by speaking to Izzy - this will overwrite one with the other, although you can switch back at any time.

The currency for the decorations (enabling you to buy them) is only available during Winter's Veil. As such, these decorations can only be acquired then. However, the decorations can be applied to your garrison (after you have unlocked them) all year round!
The decorations persist in your garrison until cancelled, across more than one day, and even if you log out.

Comment by Keldesh

Decorations can only be seen in level 3 Garrisons. You can request Izzy Hollyfizzle to remove them, change which holiday decorations appear, or if you want them back you can ask her to redecorate your Garrison. Decorations can be added back to your Garrison at any time (even outside the holiday), and they will remain in your Garrison until you ask Izzy Hollyfizzle to remove them. So if you want pumpkins all year round you can! If you want candy canes and Winter Veil trees during the summer go for it!

Holiday Event:

Feast of Winter Veil
December 16 - January 2

Event Coordinator:

Izzy Hollyfizzle

During Hallow's End and the Feast of Winter Veil, locals may drop in and request your aid against some of the denizens of Draenor. They'll surely be willing to part with some festive supplies!

Winter Veil Decorations:

These will add Winter Veil themed decorations to your level 3 garrison. Each costs decoration 5 Merry Supplies each.

Item	Description	Details
Ball of Tangled Lights	"A festive display of lights and wreaths."	Places wreaths and lights throughout your garrison.
Imported Trees	"A festive collection of trees and presents."	Adds Winter Veil trees with presents throughout your garrison. At this time it is unknown if Father Winter will deliver presents to your garrison on Dec 25. These are nothing more than decorations.
Little Helpers	"Winter Veil helpers and a Winter Wondervolt."	This adds pairs of Lil' Snowfighters to your garrison who have snowball fights if you're Horde or Lil' Helpers if you are Alliance, a PX-238 Winter Wondervolt machine for easier access to change into a little helper, and the dancing goblin, Lil' Ralph, who you can chat with if Horde or you can chat with Erik who is getting presents ready on the Alliance side.
Festive Outfits	"Dress your garrison guards for the season."	Puts your guards in Winter hats, with and without the Winter Clothing (colors dependent upon your faction) and Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater (this is dependent on which race you have as guards). This will also put the title of "Jolly" or "Merry" on some of those who have the outfits on (e.g., Jolly Sentinel, Merry Guard, etc. ). Out of Alliance Gnome Guards do not. This also adds Snowman to your garrison. You can chat with him, but he does not respond to emotes.
Old Box of Decorations	"A collection of candy canes, mistletoe and stockings."	Hangs stockings throughout your garrison, lines the paths with candy canes, and decks the halls with mistletoe.

Decorations FAQ:

A. Do they disappear after the holiday?
Q. No they do not. They will remain in your garrison until you ask Izzy Hollyfizzle to remove them.

@Muffinus: Permanent, and you can turn your garrison into Halloween any time of year.

A. If I have Izzy Hollyfizzle remove them are they gone for good, and have to rebuy them?
Q. No, you just need to ask Izzy Hollyfizzle to redecorate when you want them back.

A. Are these BOP?
Q. No, they are account bound. So you can do the dailies and buy them on an alt then send them to another character (on your account) to use in their garrison. This means if you have 5 level 100's with level 3 garrisons you could get all the decorations for one character in one day. Remember though that the actually item you buy is consumed upon use. So you can only use it to decorate 1 garrison. You will need to buy more if you want that decoration on any of your other garrison.

A. Can I use them on a level 2 garrison?
Q. Yes, but you will not see the decorations until your garrison is upgraded to level 3.

A. Can I have individual items turned off?
Q. No, once you add the decoration you can only ask for all that season's decorations to be turned off or on.

A. Can I have a decoration removed completely from my garrison and keep the rest?
Q. It does not appear to be an option.

A. Can I have both Hallow's End and Winter Veil decorations up in my garrison at the same time?

A. Can I have all 5 decorations from one holiday displaying in my garrison?
Q. Yes, you can have all 5 decorations up in your garrison.

A. Can I buy the decorations at any time or just during the holiday?
Q. You can buy them at anytime if you have the currency for them. However, you can only earn the currency during the respected holiday season.

A. If I don't use the decoration before the holiday ends does it disappear?
Q. No, the decoration item does not require a holiday. Thus it does not expire once the holiday is over.

A. Do I have to get the decorations for each of my garrisons or if I add them to one they will show up in all?
Q. You need to get the decorations for each garrison you would like to have them in.

Comment by Gadoink4

Shame they just called this quest "Grumpus" rather than making any kind of reference (which they tend to do). They could have called it "Hunt the Grumpus".

Comment by ellechim

This quest becomes almost impossible to complete in 2017 when you aren't in a group. The thing is people are standing on the spawn point and spamming AOE spells like paladins consecration, or warlocks rain of fire, so when you don't have such ability, you have no chance targeting Grumpus and getting a hit.

Tip: If you don't have such AOE spell like mentioned above, that you can cast without targeting, you can set up your target dummy on the ground which will help if you are a hunter for example, and fire multi-shot. Tried this on my hunter alt and it worked !

EDIT: I completed the daily again today (17/12/19) and mobs are now scaled, no more AOE spamming on the spawn point.

Comment by sunfirehawk2010

~~He spawns exactly 1:30 (90 seconds) after his death, for anyone having trouble getting a hit on him in 2017.~~

Blizzard has hot-fixed this event today 12/19/2017.
Grumpus now scales to your level.

Comment by Sarazah

As of today (December 18, 2017), this and all other mobs for the garrison Winter Veil dailies, have been updated to scale to 110. Thank you Blizz.

Comment by imtashat

it wasnt impossible just had to be patience. they have now made it scale with you so one person cant kill him . thanks for that not now i keep dieing

Comment by neeqie

I cant believe im the only one that hates the scaling. people just make it not fun anymore . there was no reason to scale grumpus.

Comment by Gnomegurl

As of today's maintenance (12/19/17) that area is scaled.

Comment by IAmNotaWeenie

Scaling is cool but I don't like it at all in this particular instance. I get Grumpus being a little harder, but the Grumplings too? I thought I had broken all of my armor or something was wrong when I tried these quests this morning.

Christmas shouldn't be this hard for a measly 5 candies to only buy decorations for a useless garrison anyway =/

I don't even want to do the Grumpus quests, they no longer seem worth it. I'll stick to the Greench, I don't need help for that.

Comment by talli63

Garrison must be level 3 to access and complete this daily.

Comment by SpakyTwo

Couldn't find a macro for this, this will check to see if have done the Frostfire Ridge Dailes.

/run for k,v in pairs({child=39648,present=39668,menace=39649,grumpus=39651,})do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "Done\124r" or "\124cffff0000Need\124r")) end

Comment by MageWithGun

I'm not sure if this is broken scaling or something. When i went on to complete dailies on my old now lvl 45 toons, who had artifact weapons and were sitting there untouched for this long, quest mobs got oneshot and Grumpus took 3 hits.

Comment by Trogdorp

So doing a test, it appears you can only do the quests if you have your own level 3 garrison now. I went into a friends level 3 garrison with my level 55 hunter who has a level 2 garrison, and i couldn't see the quests, and he couldn't share the quests with me. I then switched over to my level 50 mage who has their level 3 garrison and i was able to see and accept the quests with no issues. unsure if this was just an anomaly but from what i experienced you need to have your own garrison at level 3 to accept the quests this year.

Comment by Taraezor

As I do with World Events... I've made a couple of AddOns, which I uploaded to Curse, for Winter Veil and Hallow's End. They give a ton of information about completing these World Events and of course include Garissons.

If you do care to download then I hope that you found them useful.

Description

One of Draenor's oldest stories is the legend of Grumpus.

The story tells of a mean-spirited brute that would come in the night, in the dead of winter, and kidnap children that misbehaved. Back at his lair, he would present them with awful toys, and use their tears to spawn his minions.

But Grumpus is no legend, he's real and he's taken our children! Please, you have to slay him!
