The grrrgoyle is a tall, purple devilish demon with a darkly mocking visage, stoney statue-like skin and pointy tattered wings across it's big back.

The grrrgoyle with flutter around and do the [[Fuddle Dance]], confusing [[party]] members into messing up and mashing team mates or falling flat on their face. Later appearances give it the ability to ice enemies with [[Kacrack]], increase their Tension, let out a shrieking cry, paralyze enemies with a [[Smirk]], and lower an enemy's Tension.
The grrrgoyle is a tall gargoyle with pinkish-purple stony skin, a cruel visage, and tattered wings on its back, said to be the manifestation of human fear. It tears into enemies with its sharp claws, can emit a blinding flash of light from its body, and perform a dance that sends entire parties of adventurers into confusion. In later appearances, it gained an affinity for ice magic and is able to shock characters into inaction, either with a horrifying cry or their glare. The grrrgoyle is part of the [[Beast family]], likely due to its Japanese name, and is a [[Demon family|demon]] in the ''Monsters'' series.
