==Biology==
===Physiology===
Grimmsnarl is a large, muscular, humanoid Pokémon with light green ears, feet and stomach sides. It has dark purple hair on its head and partially its shoulders and legs. A red gem rests on its chest. In its mouth comes with two large fangs. 
Its Gigantamax form is covered with hair, save for its head and gem, and becomes much slimmer and taller.
A shiny Grimmsnarl has its hair changed to white, all of the green changed to pink, and the red gem changed to green. 
===Behavior===
Grimmsnarl are extremely strong, able to overwhelm even Machamp by using their hair to boost their muscle power. The hair also doubles as tentacles to ensnare foes with. Grimmsnarl are said to make their homes deep within dark woodlands, venturing out in the dead of night to visit unlucky homes. They are thought to seek out the houses of those who are discontent with their lots in life and feast upon their despair and frustration. Even after evolving twice, they haven't given up their habits of committing petty misdeeds and pranks.
Though Grimmsnarl return to their woodlands before sunrise, they are said to lash out viciously at those who sight them while feeding. Thus, children should not sneak out of the house late at night, unless they wish to risk attracting the ire of a feeding Grimmsnarl. It is said that after a Grimmsnarl visits a home, it will leave behind a telltale scattering of black hair. This is a sign for the home's inhabitant to make a change in their life to stop the Grimmsnarl from coming again. 
===Natural Abilities===
Grimmsnarl are known for their complete control over their hair, which are wrapped around their body to support their muscles.
Their Gigantamax form have rather flexible hair which can be deformed into drills on their legs to dig big holes. Like Blaziken, their Gigantamax form can leapfrog high buildings. The Gigantamax form also possesses the unique G-Max Snooze which can lull opponents into sleeping.
==Evolution==
Grimmsnarl evolves from Morgrem at level 42 and is the final evolution of Impidimp.

Judging by its signature move False Surrender and green skin, it might be based on the Green Knight from "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight".
