Titanus Grindylow

**Titanus Grindylow**, or just simply **Grindylow**, is an ancient deep-sea Titan. Grindylow is noted for her restoration of the Great Barrier Reef after being released from Ghidorah's control during the Mass Awakening.

## Name

Grindylow earned her name due to her resemblance to the Grindylow creatures from English folklore.

## Myth

In English folklore, Grindylows are bog monsters that are said to grab and pull in children that wander too close to the water with their long arms. Historians generally agree that the Grindylow legend was used by English parents for centuries as a sort of "boogeyman" to keep children away from water where they could potentially drown.

## Truth

Titanus Grindylow is a Titan of the deep, inhabiting the sea floor and scavenging the remains of dead animals and Titans. Monarch paleontologists theorize that Grindylow is perhaps apart of the Eurypterid order with some unique adaptations not seen in other creatures of the order. The Grindylow superspecies has evolved traits from other deep-sea creatures most likely as a way to aid in its frequent scavenging. sat atop its round armored head are two highly-sensitive compound eyes, aiding its vision in the dark depths of the ocean. Two pairs of crab-like pincers jut out from the underside of the Titan, tools that aid in the processing and breaking down of Titan remains. Most notably, four fleshy octopus-like legs extend from the creature's lower-half, which are used for propelling itself through the water at great speed, suggesting that the Grindylow superspecies possibly has a natural predator. Grindylow displays incredibly vibrant bioluminescence, though its purpose is not yet understood. So far, blue, purple, and light green have been observed. Inside the armored carapace that is its body, a special organ processes digested Titan remains into a special life-giving enzyme with the ability to revitalize coral reefs and other undersea life.

## History

Titanus Grindylow is believed to be very ancient, possibly dating back to the precambrian.

During the Mass Awakening, Grindylow awoke to Ghidorah's call and, being a scavenger Titan, immediately sought out food. Castle Bravo, which holds the remains of the MUTOs and Margygr, became Grindylow's target. She swam to the outpost and unsuccessfully attempted to breach the facility, but was warded off by mazer cannons. After the defeat of Ghidorah, Grindylow swam to the Great Barrier Reef and has begun a slow, but certain restoration of the natural marvel. She remains in the reef to this day, patrolling and releasing her life-giving enzyme.
