Trivia

  • Unlike his previous versions, Deep Dive Gill Grunt's water jetpack (if the Water Weaver path isn't chosen) doesn't require seconds of recharging.
    • However, the feature of his new jetpack is based on choosing the Water Weaver path.
  • He, Zap, Punk Shock, and Wham-Shell are the only Water Skylanders with electricity-based abilities.
    • Deep Dive Gill Grunt is the first Water Skylander that can use electricity-based abilities, but is not from royalty. 
  • Deep Dive Gill Grunt was originally conceptualized with a plethora of alternative designs. Some concepts wore hats, overalls, or goggles; others wielded a form of gun; one was even designed as anglerfish; and one was sheathed in metallic armor.[1]
  • When he, Big Bubble Pop Fizz, Super Shot Stealth Elf and Bone Bash Roller Brawl are placed on the portal, they say their official catchphrases in a slightly different tone of their voices.
    • This also applies to most of their quotes, which have been completely re-recorded. 
  • Deep Dive Gill Grunt has similarities to the DC Comics hero, Aquaman. Both are connected to sea life, both have green and orange in their color schemes and they both have tridents for weapons.
  • Although not included in the game, Deep Dive Gill Grunt can be seen on the promo art of Skylanders: Ring of Heroes.[2]
