The Grinch

*"Oh, I'm not Santa. I'm The Grinch that stole Christmas! If you want your presents back, come catch me first!"*
―The Grinch to *JSP*[src]
The **Grinch** is a selfish being who provoked hatred towards Christmas, to the point that he decided to steal the holiday. When The Grinch sought to end Christmas, he pretended to be the legendary Santa Claus, hoping to steal presents located in the JSP Headquarters. Using his sick tactics to distract the *JSP* group, he had Cora trigger an explosion outside, causing destruction to the house. The Grinch returned to his cave with the presents he stole, but he was confronted by Laser, Static, and Sonic, who tried to get their presents back. When The Grinch demanded the *JSP* crew to leave his property, he cowered back inside his cave when the real Santa Claus showed up, requesting the group's help.

## History

### Stealing Christmas

The Grinch provoked hatred towards Christmas. With his heart being two sizes too small, The Grinch got tired putting up with the holiday every December, so he decided to steal it. While going on his heist, The Grinch pretended to be the legendary Santa Claus, so he could sneak into other people's homes without being detected as The Grinch.

### Holly Jolly Heist

*"I want a puppy, and a kitty, and a PlayStation 4 Pro. Not the regular PlayStation 4, the PlayStation 4 Pro."
"Oh... my... God!"
"Wait, there's more! I want a sword, a rocket ship, and a girlfriend! Wait, did I mention a sword?"*
―Sonic and Laser[src]

Visiting the JSP Headquarters, The Grinch, under the guise of Santa Claus, sought to steal the presents that Laser, Static, and Sonic had. Unfortunately, when Sonic saw The Grinch sitting on the couch in the living room, he believed he was the real Santa Claus and began telling him everything he wanted for Christmas. Just then, Laser walked into the living room, pretty surprised to see the legendary 'Santa Claus' himself. While the two were distracted, The Grinch started slowly walking towards the presents located underneath the Christmas tree, hoping to steal them. But just then, he stopped when Static entered the room, questioning who invited 'Santa Claus' over.

While the *JSP* crew continued talking, The Grinch quickly stole the presents underneath the tree and rushed back outside. The Grinch then pressed the doorbell, getting Cora's attention. This ultimately triggered an explosion that caused destruction to the building. Concluding that 'Santa Claus' had lost his mind, the members of *JSP* sought to confront him, but they became surprised to realize they had been tricked by The Grinch, who took off his disguise and revealed himself. The Grinch told *JSP* that if they wanted their presents back, then they would have to catch him first. The Grinch then disappeared into the forest with the presents he stole.

### *JSP'*s Confrontation

*"Look, just give us back our presents... Or I'll break all your fingers!"*
―Static to The Grinch[src]

The Grinch returned to the Grinch's Hideout with the stolen presents. Unfortunately, when Laser, Static, and Sonic sought to confront The Grinch, he walked outside the cave, persuading the group to turn back due to them trespassing his property. *JSP*, however, couldn't understand what The Grinch was saying, due to his words sounding gibberish to them. Static then threatened The Grinch to give them back their presents, otherwise he would break all his fingers. The Grinch refused to give back the presents and was joined by two other Grinches, who came outside to protect him. Unfortunately, the three Grinches cowered back inside the cave upon seeing the real Santa Claus show up behind *JSP*.

### *JSP'*s Renovated Headquarters

By 2023, the destruction that The Grinch caused to the JSP Headquarters had been cleaned up, causing the building to be renovated.
