Characteristics

Similar to Leery Louts, only an ugly orange rather than goblin green, Grim Grinners are much better at defending than their brethren, with a much sharper sword for slicing.

In Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation, there is one guarding a lost ring at the bottom of the well in Somnia. He speaks in a similar way to the Gollum character from the Lord of the Rings book and series of films, comically referring to 'his precious', complete with long lisps.
