Grindel

A is an enemy found in the pyramid of Shifting Sand Land in Super Mario 64 and its remake Super Mario 64 DS.
== Profile ==
=== Physical description ===
Grindels are essentially mummified versions of Thwomps, but not quite. Grindels have evil grins and do not change their facial expression. They have large, dark, raised eyebrows, bead-like dark blue eyes, and huge grins that widely show their yellowed teeth. Grindels have a cube-shaped body with black borders on their top and bottom.
=== Behavior ===
They move in different patterns as Thwomps. Where a Thwomp simply moves up and down, a Grindel moves forward and backward too and also turns when it reaches the end of its stomping area.
== In Mario Party 2 ==
Grindels appear in the minigame Lava Tile Isle. While they act like platforms, Grindels will switch positions as the players battle each other.
== Trivia ==
*In Super Mario 64, there is one cylindrical Grindel that rolls along the floor called a Spindel.
