As the fiercest Grotto boss outside of Legacy Bosses, Greygnarl is a truly dangerous foe. Combining the power of three actions per turn with highly damaging abilities, Greygnarl is a very difficult boss. Not only does he have access to the extremely powerful Magic Burst, but he can also incapacitate your party members with Raging Roar. Also noteworthy is his ability to temporarily raise his Attack, Defense, and Agility, as well as preventing the party from matching his stat boosts by casting Disruptive Wave. Luckily, unlike members of the ??? Family who have no weapon weaknesses, Greygnarl can be hit for extra damage by swords and the powerful Dragon Slash.
