| The '''Grim grinner''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{DQ6}}.
| |
| | |
| ==Characteristics==
| |
| '''Grim grinners''' are diminutive [[Humanoid family|goblin]]-like creatures with brown or orange skin, armed with short swords and a buckler displaying a hideous visage grinning with sharp fangs, giving the {{MFamilies}} its name. The only clothing they wear are simple kilts made of sackcloth. The grinners are much better at defending themselves and their allies with their bucklers than their brethren, with a much sharper sword for slicing. When the monsters reappeared in {{IX}}, they had orange skin rather than their regular brown.

| There is a grim grinner guarding a lost ring at the bottom of the well in {{Somnia U}}. He speaks in a similar way to the Gollum character from the ''Lord of the Rings'' books and series of films, comically referring to 'his precious', complete with long lisps.

| Grim grinners debuted in Version 1.0 of the game, appearing in groups of 1 to 3 and possessing high attack power, defending themselves with [[Immense Defence]]. They will attack with [[Freezing Blizzard]], as well as [[C-c-cold Breath]] if they become enraged. Starting with Version 6.1 of the game, the {{MFamilies}}'s Japanese name was changed to coincide with their appearance in {{Tact}}.
| |

| |
| ==={{DQTact}}===
| |
| Grim grinner appears as a B-rank {{MFamilies}} of the [[Demon family]] as part of the limited {{Dragon Quest IX}} event. It can be recruited from the Summoner of Demons stage of "Wishes Come True" at any difficulty and can participate in [[Stella]]'s Battle Road as a party member. The monster was originally known as '''Dark Paul''' when it was introduced, but was changed to Grim grinner in a June 2023 update.

| ==Etymology==
| |
| The grim grinner's original Japanese name, Dark Hobbit (ダークホビット, ''Dākuhobitto'') is a reference to the fictional race of [[Wikipedia:Hobbit|Hobbit]]s from the novels of J.R.R. Tolkien. Hobbits are small creatures with appearances similar to humans who live barefooted due to having tough leathery souls and hairy feet. In Version 6.1 of {{X}} and {{Tact}}, the {{MFamilies}}'s name was changed to Dark Pokkur (ダークポックル, ''Dākupokkuru''), referencing the [[Wikipedia:Korpokkur|Korpokkur]], a race of diminutive beings from the folklore of the Ainu people of Japan. Korpokkurs, also known as koropokkurus, were believed to live in the Ainu's land before they did. They are short of stature, agile, skilled at fishing, and live in underground homes with roofs made of butterbur leaves.
