Grindel

"*It's a character, but also it's fun to say. So like, Grindel exists as this square guy, but he also exists as a state of mind.*" —Raysfire[src]
**Grindel** (plural **Grindelia** [grin-DAY-lee-uh], colloquially a group or flock of **Grindels** or **Grindel**), the **Forgotten Nintendo Enemy** and **Defender of the Juice**, is a *Super Mario Maker 2* player with memorable interactions with Raysfire.

## Biography

### Early life

The Blockman **Crindil** was born in 1147 as a relative of the Spindel, placing his 875th birthday in 2022.

By 1927, Crindil operated under the name **Gellert Grindel** and committed some "very bad and dark crimes" with the help of the Thwomp Credence Barestone (real name "Thwomprelius Rumbledore"), including tax evasion. These actions were paralleled in the Wizarding World (franchise) by those of Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald.

### Axe Story

By the 21st century, Grindel had grown to peak physical performance, becoming a Lovecraftian being known by modern scholars as **Realistic Grindel**. Grindel first met Raysfire when the latter was in ninth grade (c. 2009–2010) at the School for the Bald. Perhaps seeing potential in young Ian, Grindel stole an axe (secretly a hatchet) from the Police's Parents and hid it in Ian's locker before himself disintegrating and being reborn inside the locker.

### 2021

#### May

About eleven years later, Raysfire and Twitch Chat researched the Forgotten Nintendo Enemy, summoning him back into Rays' life as a stream sniper and iconic meme character.

#### July

"*john fortnite / has hair / rays dosent / this message / is rays f.... OOOO the ORB*" —Grindel[src]
Grindel briefly hacked into raysfire plus on July 8 to give Shudheads an important message confirming Raysfire's baldness before being distracted by the Orb. This message was found by egnoah.

On July 9, Space-Interviewer shared a new poster for *Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindel*, a new cut of *Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald* based on Gellert Grindel's 1927 tax evasion, in the Hooligang Hideout.

#### November

*Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindel* is scheduled to release on November 16.

## Trivia

* Realistic Grindel's death and rebirth resemble each of the two deaths of the Marvel Cinematic Universe character Groot, who similarly disintegrated in *Avengers: Infinity War* (2018) and was reborn as a smaller version of himself in *Guardians of the Galaxy* (2014). This is notable because Groot is a tree, which are known to be weak to axes, the very tool that Grindel delivered to young Raysfire shortly before his rebirth.
