Looking for a complete Grounded 2 Toe Biter parts guide? Whether you need Toe Biter Claws, want to start a reliable shell farm, or plan to unlock the powerful Toboggan (Toe Biter buggy), this guide covers everything you need to know.
The Toe Biter is one of the most useful creatures in the current Grounded 2 update thanks to its parts and the unique underwater-capable buggy it unlocks.
How to Get Toe Biter Claws
Toe Biter Claws are a key crafting material, especially for Tier 3 Omni Clippers.
| Source | Details | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Toe Biters | Regular adult Toe Biters drop claws | Found in and around the pond |
| Papa Toe Biter | Guaranteed drop opportunity when farming eggs | Located in the cave behind the memorial in Gnarly Bark |
| Recommended Weapon | Spicy weapons (Wallopino works very well) | Toe Biters are weak to spicy damage |
Best farming tip: The Papa Toe Biter behind the memorial in southern Gnarly Bark is an excellent early source. Defeat him to collect both eggs and claws in one trip.
