==History==
At the last Trollstice, Prince Gristle was suppose to eat a troll and Princess Poppy was destined to be his meal. When Chef presented Poppy to him, he eats her only to find it is a wooden replica. The Trolls escaped.
Soon afterwards, the Bergens forced his father off the throne, and Prince Gristle became King. He continued to seek the source of happiness, the Trolls.
20 years later, hope returned with Chef bringing to Bergen Castle members of The Snack Pack. Gristle planned to celebrate this by hosting a big feast and inviting his subjects, bringing back Trollstice.
He soon realises as they prepare that the few Trolls Chef had brought back were not enough to feed his kingdom and Chef promises to resolve the problem.
He visits Bibbly to replace his old Troll Bib, only to meet a Bergen known as "Lady Glittersparkle Seriously". He instantly falls for her and the two go on a date. During the date the two fall in love. He states she will be his plus one at the dinner table for Trollstice before she runs off, leaving him only her rollerskate.
At the feast, he waits for her but she does not show. When the scullery maid Bridget wheels out the pot containing all the Trolls of Troll Village, Chef find it empty and anger is thrown at Bridget who is accused of eating them all. During the angry show, the Trolls burst into the room and launch themselves at Bridget; it is revealed that the Trolls had helped her be "Lady Glittersparkles". They also reveal that he didn't need to eat a Troll, because the feeling he had while he was on the date with her was in fact the feeling of happiness.
Chef, not wanting to let Trollstice goes tries to force feed Branch to Gristle, but Poppy interferes. The Trolls and Bergens start dancing and it is revealed that yes, they don't need to eat the Trolls to feel happy and Chef is sent away.

===Offical===
Prince Gristle is the surly twenty-something King of the Bergen Monsters. He inherited the crown at a young age when his father was dethroned by his angry subjects. (His royal screw up: allowing everyone’s favorite delicacy — Trolls — to escape Bergen town.) Mortified by his father’s blunder and desperate to make his subjects love him, Prince Gristle vows to put Trolls back on the menu, and bring happiness back to Bergen Town.
* Prince Gristle is ​actually pretty good at busting rhymes.
* Roller-skating is his secret talent.
* His idea of a fancy date is going to Bergentown’s premier all-you-can-eat pizza buffet.
* He will never sit down to a meal without a freshly-pressed bib.
* Gristle is easy to fool with Chef.
== Trivia ==
* He has a pet crocodile named Barnebis.
* He owns a stuffed wingdingle on his bed that is the same color as the one on his troll bib.
* At the last Trollstice Chef states that "there is one among us who has never eaten a Troll", indicating Gristle was the only Bergen to not have ever eaten a Troll. This marks him as the oldest Bergen in the town who didn't know what eaten a Troll was like.
**Gristle was given two chances to eat Troll, the first was Creek and second was Branch.
**If Poppy had not escaped with the other Trolls, it would have been 3 times he had a chance. Incidentally, Creek and Branch both had a deep fondness with Poppy herself.
*He might have dwarfism that prevents him from growing tall.
