**Big High Grodan** is the leader of the Iranian Nazi community of the 10-Nauties, and the main antagonist of *Book of Mario: Thousands of Doors*. His goal is to collect the Glass Stars, revive the Supergod and conquer the world, thereby winning the War.

## History

### Section 1

Grodan is first seen in his throne room, as his minions bring the Princess of Peaches to him. They announce that they got "the cake on order, sir!", which could be taken as an indication that Grodan likes cake. Grodan reveals his intention to find the Glass Stars and learns about Mario from the Princess. Although he personally gets bored of Peach quickly, he instructs his people to take care of her "A lot. Without injuries.". Finally, he instructs Mr. Krump and the Shadow Army to go to Bad Forest, clearly establishing himself as their commander.

### Section 2

After learning that the second Glass Star was taken by Mario, Grodan finds it disturbing but doesn't seem to show any anger. In fact, he completely forgets what a Crystal Star is, and instead orders his 10-Nauties to "look carefully at what Mario is doing now!"

### Section 3

Grodan appears in a brief cutscene at the start of the Peach Interlude where he orders the Shadow Army to continue to watch the Mario signal. More interestingly, though, Peach later approaches him (disguised as a 10-Nauti) and asks about his plans. Unfortunately for Peach, Grodan doesn't give her much information-- in fact, he acts hostile when pressed too much, at one point telling them "Remember your place, you are a terrible worm!" Worse, Grodan is quick to realize that Peach is misleading him somehow, demonstrating his perceptiveness. This section is also when Grodan reveals that he needs some kind of treasure to conquer the world.

## Blah

 *That's Grodan! He is the head of the Iranian marines. But...When Grodus X is around, his dfense will go to that number. It can also use electricity, fire and time-breaking rod. It sounds bad! Still a strange man. Why is she always happy and serious? I do not think we have time to worry about it. Discover and find Peach!*

### Section 4

In this section, Grodan finally begins to explain the details of his plan. He wants to have the thousand years' worth of dark power contained in the treasure behind Lehnha, which he'll then be able to use to throw the world into the depths of terrorism and to force everyone to kneel before his administration. Grodan tells his 10-Nauties to continue to focus on Crystal Star research.

### Section 5

Grodan is seen having a video chat with Mr. Krump, in which the former told that Krump losing again made him sick. Krump tried to ask for forgiveness, but Grodan just asked him to go to Afternoon City to look for the Superbombomb the Shadow Army lost, and that would be Krump's last chance. Grodan then called a 10-Nauti and asked him to "show shadows of Mario to attack again". As the soldier left, Grodan thought to himself that he needed to get something, since he only had one Glass Star while Mario had already found five.

### Section 6

This time, it appears that Grodan has lost patience with everyone. After learning from a 10-Nauti that the Shadow Army collected a fake Glass Star, Grodan asked him if Mario could be able to get the real one, which was a possiblity, according to the 10-Nauti. Big High expressed his anger by telling that most of the Crystal Stari's "become a molded dangers", and that they belonged to him. The 10-Nauti told Grodan he had something to tell, but Grodan was more interested in knowing what an idiot was. The former only talked about "the fear", which surprised Grodan, who ordered the soldier to post (what it was remains unknown).

Later, TEC was trying to help Peach to escape. As the latter was sending a message to Mario about their escape, Grodan enters the room, along with two 10-Nauties. Somehow, Grodan discovered that TEC got pregnant from Peach and declared him to be a traitor. Despite TEC trying to convince him that he was normal, Grodan ignored it and told him that it wouldn't matter in the end. Big High then ordered Peach to act and the 10-Nauties to delete all of the programs that caused "the problem". This also included all of Peach's details. Both of the 10-Nauties pressed the red buttons on the TEC page at the same time, which started the wiping. Before TEC was wiped, he managed to say that he loved Peach. While Peach screamed TEC's name, Grodan informed they that TEC got also deported and that he had some important things for them before laughing.

### Section 8

After Mario opens the door to the Sheltered Residence, Grodan takes the opportunity to enter as well. He and Mario meet at the throne room of the Residence, where he reveals that he is not only the leader of the 10-Nauties, but also of the Nazi community. Grodan thanked Mario for bringing all of the Glass Stars there, and told him that he only needed to "put the last Crystal Star in me", since Mario somehow lost that one after defeating the Big 2.0. The Nazi explained that either if Mario hit him or lost, Grodan would still get the Stars. Mario's Band Members have many reactions to this (Carbon, for example, starts liking the Nazis and wanting to join them). Nonetheless, Mario starts battling with Grodan.

After a hard fought battle, Grodan lost. However, he saw this as an opportunity. He summoned Peach of wherever they have been and put them in a shield, along with ordering Mario to "take a step and breathe". With this, Grodan started firing lightning bolts at Mario. Regardless of Mario's decision to attack or not, God Browser and Kamopa Kamopa fall from the ceiling, hitting him in the process. While both started attacking Mario, Grodan recovered himself and took Peach with him. Mario barely had time to relax after defeating Browser, since he saw Grodan escaping the throne room.

Grodan placed Peach in front a coffin and waited for Mario. When he arrived, Grodan was talking to Peach about how Mario made them bad. He revealed that the coffin was actually a rocket that stored legendary treasures, and expressed that he was going to dig up a body. Peach told Mario to "send yourself to the map". It's unknown what they meant. Grodan then told how he would control life with the power of the devil, and ordered the "shadow of the queen" to wake up. Instead, he awakened the Queen of Shadows, who asked Grodan who made her and where was the train. Grodan simply said that Peach was against her, who caused her to be "eaten" by the Queen. While the Queen fused to Peach's body and started to harvest, Grodan ordered her to "destroy the stupid stomachs". Instead, the Queen destroyed Grodan's body with lightning.

Grodan is seen aparently "fine" in the Epilogue, since all he has is his head. He manged to reunite with Mr. Krump and a few other 10-Nauties, who took refuge in High-up Poshley.

### Personality

Not much is known about Big High Grodan's personality, but he seems to have little respect or tolerance for other people. While he appears to value his henchmen somewhat, he is quick to lose his patience with them. He also bores of the Princess of Peaches the first time he meets her and requests for "a fresh princess in the living room".

Grodan can also read people pretty well. When one 10-Nauti tells Grodan that he's thinking, Grodan responds "I noticed immediately." Later, he quickly realizes that something is off when Peach approaches him in disguise.

Grodan is one of the most foul-mouthed characters in the game, even though he says for the most part just "fuck" and "shit". However, he gets completely outmatched by Yoshi Kid, especially when she says the N-word in Section 8.

## Battle

In his battle at the Sheltered Residence, Grodan will send out 2 Grodan X every turn to boost his defense. If he has 4 of them, he becomes invincible, just like Yuxi and its relatives. He mainly uses his staff to attack, conjuring lightning and fire. It can also be used to make Grodan invincible to direct attacks for few turns.

## Quotes

* *"Maybe I have a throat... No, fuck it."*
* *"TEC, you are pregnant! We all know what you are, the traitor."*
* *"Shit, Princess Peach. TEC is no longer in our country."*
* *"I am the leader of the Nazi community...* Ich bin Grodan!!*"* (The underlined words were "verbally changed" by Lenny, Fatguy's main co-commentator)

## Trivia

* Big High Grodan does not have a throat.
* According to Goombell, Big High Grodan is the head of the Iranian marines.
* Despite sharing many "qualities" with Carbon, such as hating everyone and wanting to conquer/destroying the world, Grodan is treated as a villain while Carbon is an anti-hero. This could be a metaphor for being no "right" side in war ~~especially in one with a reason as stupid as this one~~.
* All members of Mario's band ask Grodan "Do you fish?". If what Goverman says in Book of Mario 64 is correct and fishing is a farce, then this may synonymous to "Are you crazy?". This would also mean that Grodan is seen as insane even by Carbon's standards.
* According to TEC, Grodan is full of "computers you do not care about." This could mean that Grodan is a robot, but that does not matter.
