|-|Appearance=
=== Appearance ===
grudge is an eerie, malformed visage characterized by a large, gaping mouth filled with blood-stained, razor-sharp teeth. Her entire form is coated in a lavender hue. She possesses a lanky, oval-shaped head, complemented by long, messy black hair. Her dead eyes, which appear to gaze directly at the viewer, are possibly looking downward due to her height. A shadow partially obscures half of her face, while highlights accentuate her eyes. Her thick eyebrows are raised, imparting a surprised or shocked expression. Her nose is convex-shaped, with large, tilted nostrils, and although her chin is obscured, it is likely narrow.
The current version of her has been slightly brightened, enhancing visibility. In contrast, the older version is of significantly lower quality and much darker, making her difficult to discern in low-light conditions. Both of the images have imperfections upon removing the background: some of her hair exhibits a leftover scanned paper texture, the top of her head has purple edges after editing the color, and the lower left side has a faint white background, making the cropping nearly cleaned up.
The older version of the grudge character only displays her face, which appears to be floating. The head also appears to be significantly blurrier.

=== Audio ===
grudge emits an inexplicable audio disturbance accompanied by a flesh-squelching sound in the background, followed by a brief silence before the loop repeats. In her new jumpscare, she will emit a loud female scream with reverb at the end. Her old jumpscare features a very loud screech that closely resembles an alarm sound.

Additionally, there is a video titled 6 (x100) by Doge that showcases the audio with a different chord progression. The audio ID for the Proximity audio is 10384719706.

Her old jumpscare audio originates from Power Drill Massacre, specifically when the player is killed by the killer. This audio can be found here.

==Trivia==
*When grudge was first added, the image only displayed her face, with most of her hair and neck cut off from the frame.
*On July 28th, 2022, Grudge’s image was changed for the second time, this time to make it brighter.
*grudge is based on the Ju-On horror films.
*The image used for preacher is derived from grudge’s source image.
*Her current jump scare sound is also from the Puppet Combo game Night Ripper.
*According to jasper_creations, she was the first nextbot he added to the game.
*grudge’s description in nextbots rng references a line from the Japanese horror film Ju-on: The Grudge. In this eerie movie, the ringing phone is a harbinger of supernatural terror, and answering it leads to horrifying consequences.
**However, the phone may be representing the phone call after watching the cursed video tape from the Ringu series. Sadako, not Kayako, is the villain in that.
