Sometime at the end of April 1998, the Gnug Attack was launched on TEN. Answering a distress call from the MotherGnugger (Gnug415), Gnugs 115 thru 315 were dispatched and sent to the rescue. After preliminary reconnaissance by the Gnugs' allies the Linglangs, the three Gnugs took the inhabitants on TEN by complete surprise, tearing through all opposition and wrecking havoc wherever they went. Even though the weak humans were helplessly at the mercy of the Gnugs, they managed to disrupt the highspeed connection between the TEN service and Gnug Land (about 40 Gnug parsecs away) on several occasions, causing the Gnugs to lose games due to disconnections, ruining their precious winning streaks.

The Gnugs are a hardy species however, and were undaunted by the cheap tactics used by the Earthlings. In one of his moments of madness, Gnug315 aka Evil Gnug overreacted and called for further backup (an action that would later prove totally unnecessary and actually be viewed as tasteless overkill of the Earthlings). Soon after the initial skirmish, the Gnugs were joined by Gnug015 aka Attack or Killer Gnug, and not long after that followed Gnug525 aka Mystery Gnug, although that one deemed in sensible enough to stay in the background regardless of Gnug315's frantic ranting.

As the situation has devoloped, many Earthlings have renounced their folly beliefs, and embraced Gnugdom. By doing this these Earthlings have gained the respect of the Gnugs, and some have even been promoted to the coveted status of GnugFriend.

The Gnugs have made an unprecedented impact on the TEN community. Besides the GnugFriends, sightings of Gnug haters are manyfold, the most serious taking on the from of GnugKillers and GnugSlayers. There is no War without love, however, and Gnugetts have also made appearances and played their role in completing the World Of Gnugdom.
