As the fiercest Grotto boss outside of Legacy Bosses, Greygnarl is a truly dangerous foe. Combining the power of three actions per turn with highly damaging abilities, Greygnarl is a very difficult boss. Not only does he have access to the extremely powerful [[Magic Burst]], but he can also incapacitate your party members with [[Raging Roar]]. Also noteworthy is his ability to temporarily raise his [[Attack]], [[Defense]], and [[Agility]], as well as preventing the party from matching his stat boosts by casting [[Disruptive Wave]]. Luckily, unlike members of the [[??? Family]] who have no weapon weaknesses, Greygnarl can be hit for extra damage by [[sword]]s and the powerful [[Dragon Slash]].
==={{DQTact}}===
Greygnarl appears as a S-rank member of the [[Dragon family]] as part of the original ''Dragon Quest IX'' event, appearing on his own banner alongside [[Axolhotl]]. He can participate in [[Stella]]'s Battle Road as a party member. As of the most recent update in the Japanese version, he can be recruited from any banner, including the Regular SP Scout.

* it should be noted that before Greygnarl is fought as a grotto boss he mentions something about "Styrmling" being the third dragon (the first two being he and Barbarus). This could possibly be similar to "Stellestria" where as he had a past life as something different. Interestingly enough though this is never explored further.
