## Physical description

### Hair color

Bald except magical black beard

**Grog Strongjaw** is a goliath of towering height and size and member of Vox Machina. The barbarian has an appetite for the three great loves in his life: combat, women, and ale, but with his lack of intelligence he sometimes struggles with number, words and other educational concepts.

## ​Description

### Appearance

Grog, being a goliath, is grey-skinned with tattoos all over his upper body and his bald head, weighing 645 pounds and stands at 8 feet, 7 inches tall. After having a phylactery removed from his body, a scar formed on his chest, a mark of the lingering darkness within him. Grog's atrifact the Belt of Dwarvenkind, allowed him to grow a thick, black beard, a feat thought to be impossible for him due to male goliaths having no body hair. Upon joining the Slayer's Take, Grog has the brand of the guild on his right arm.

During Vox Machina's one-year break of adventuring, Grog took the skin with the bear tattoo which he had flayed from Kevdak's chest and had it tanned. He then got an exact copy of it tattooed on his back, as a symbol that Kevdak and the events surrounding him are now behind him.

### Personality

Jokes were occasionally made about Grog being smarter than most barbarians, and sometimes he has moments of relative genius.

Grog's low intelligence proved problematic for the group  in the past. On two separate occasions he has been completely incapacitated by creatures that made attacked his brain or mind, once when an intellect devourer's attack put Grog into a catatonic state, and the other time when a duergar, Queen Ulara, dominated his mind and kidnapped him.

Because of his low intelligence, Grog is illiterate and cannot read or write in any language. After being unable to read any of the runes written in Giant within the City of Brass, Grog expressed a desire to learn how to read, and asked for Pike to help him learn the Common alphabet. Since then, Pike has managed to teach Grog how to read words in Common that are up to five letters long.

Grog has shown himself to be rather impulsive, as seen often when he charges ahead of the group into an unknown area. He believes in freedom, avoiding restriction by authority and is not against making the hard decision for the right reason. He is often more aggressive and less merciful than some of the others around him. He does not like being bested in single combat.

## ​Abilities

Grog has a few abilities that allow him to inflict more damage in combat and demoralize the enemy. His anger brings him to another level while in combat—his rage is a means to an end, in which his thrill is derived from the chaotic nature of battle. He later trained as in fighting techinques both armed and unarmed, giving him more benefits above his enemies.
