King Gristle Sr.

King Gristle Sr. was the King of the Bergens and a posthumous antagonist in Trolls. 
== Appearance ==
King Gristle Sr. is an ugly, dark green bergen with some gray hair on his head and all over his body, a gray uni-brow, and some grey stub of hair on his chin. He wears a purple cape with fur on it, a red violet jacket, red violet trousers, yellow flip-flops, and a gold crown on his head. When sleeping he wears brown checkered Pajamas with dark brown spots on them.
== Personality ==
King Gristle Sr. has dual responsibilities: leading the fickle, easily distracted Bergens and raising his only son, Gristle Junior, whose primary mission in life is to get his first taste of a Troll.
== Relationships ==
=== Prince Gristle ===
Prince Gristle is King Gristle's only son and next heir to the royal throne of the Bergens. He appears to care about his son very much and was looking forward to seeing him eating his first Troll. After the Trolls escape, King Gristle Sr sadly told his son that nothing would make him happy now.
===Chef===
Chef was the head of the Bergen Castle kitchen and the royal chef. The position he gave her was both sacred and important; to be in charge of the Trolls and to hold Trollstice once a year. The control of the Trolls was a important task as it allowed her just as much power as it did him as King. 
However, when the Trolls escaped he was quick to use her as an escape goat and to save him own skin put the blame onto her. He banished her from Bergen Town, stripping her of her rank and luxuries. Despite this, this was only a temporary solution at best.
==History==
At some point in the past he had eaten a Troll, a memory he held very fondly as it gave him a taste of happiness.
King Gristle is awoken on the day of Trollstice (the one day when Bergens can Feel happy by eating a troll) by his toddler son Prince Gristle, who is getting excited for his first taste of troll. Gristle encourages his son not to be shy.
However, the trolls, led by their leader King Peppy, escape Bergen Town. Angered, King Gristle blames Chef for this and banishes her from Bergen Town. That night, Prince Gristle asks his father what will make him happy now, to which the King picks him up and sadly says nothing will.
Soon after the Trolls escaped, he was forced to step down from the throne by his subjects, causing his son to take over as King at a young age."The Art of the Trolls", ISBN no.;278-1-937359-95-9
20 years later, an older Gristle Jr. is now king of the Bergens, leaving it unknown what became of King Gristle Sr. afterwards. Despite his absence, the former King is mentioned at times by his son.
