    -Gill Grunt's official catchphrase

Gill Grunt is a Gillman Skylander in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He is one of the three Skylanders who come with the console starter pack.

BackgroundEdit

PersonalityEdit

Gill Grunt is one fish who never lets evil off the hook, willing to protect people other than himself and his friends. He believes himself to be one of the greatest singers in history, when in truth, he is a dreadful singer like all Gillmen. Though his friends (except Eruptor) are just too fond of the Gillman to tell Gill Grunt the truth.

BiographyEdit

Gill Grunt was a brave soul who joined the Gillmen military in search of adventure. While journeying through a misty lagoon in the clouds, he met an enchanting mermaid. He vowed to return to her after his tour. Keeping his promise, he came back to the lagoon years later, only to learn a nasty band of pirates had kidnapped the mermaid. Heartbroken, Gill Grunt began searching all over Skylands. Though he had yet to find her, he joined the Skylanders to help protect others from such evil, while still keeping an ever-watchful eye for the beautiful mermaid and the pirates who took her.

RoleEdit

The Machine of DoomEdit

WARNING: This section contains spoilers below! (Skip section)
On Eon's island, Gill Grunt was celebrating the Skylanders' latest victory over the forces of evil with a song, much to the Skylanders' discomfort. Afterwards, the Gillman is sent on a mission with Spyro and Eruptor to the Mabu Market to check on Hugo and Flynn's report of flying sheep attacking. They soon find out that the sheep weren't really flying, but were carried by invisible trolls led by a Spell Punk who were looking for an item called the Chattering Key for Kaos. Gill Grunt later embark on a journey with Spyro, Boomer, Flynn, and Eruptor to the Forest of Fear to find the Chattering Key, which is used to unlock a tomb that contains an Arkeyan weapon. The Gillman falls victim to the Fungus Rings of Despair, and his worst fear came to life as he hallucinates being barbecued alive by two trolls who intend on eating Gill Grunt. Spyro soon saves Gill Grunt from his nightmare along with the other Skylanders, and make their way through the Forest of Fear.

After finding the Chattering Key, and escaping from its guardian, the Skylanders were about to leave the Forest, but discover that Kaos had captured Flynn. Not willing to sacrifice Flynn's life, the Skylanders allow Kaos to take the Chattering Key, which he then uses to unlock the tomb that leads inside the Pyramid of Just Rewards that contains the Machine of Doom. Refusing to give up, the Skylanders go to the other side of the pyramid with the help of the Chattering Key, and they reached the Machine of Doom before Kaos did. Boomer attempts to pilot the Machine, but loses control of it, and Kaos reveals that the machine was really a trap designed by the Arkeyans to capture anyone who might be tempted to steal a weapon capable of destroying the Core of Light, and Kaos tricked the Skylanders into seizing the Machine of Doom, therefore springing the trap created by the Arkeyans, so that they can be buried alive.

However, Kaos' plan was thrwarted as the Skylanders used the crumbling Machine of Doom to escape from the pyramid. Although Kaos escaped, the Skylanders celebrated their victory as Gill Grunt begins singing again, much to Eruptor's annoyance.

Spoilers end here.

Skylanders: Spyro's AdventureEdit

Gill Grunt participated in the battle against Kaos' minions along with some of the other Skylanders to protect the Core of Light, taking out two Cyclops Choppers and a Goliath Drow. When Kaos' Hydra ultimately destroyed the Core, Gill Grunt, along with the other Skylanders, were banished from Skylands to Earth where they were turned into toys, and waited for the new Portal Master to find him.

After Kaos was defeated, Gill Grunt, Spyro, and Trigger Happy were present at the Core of Light with Flynn, Cali, Hugo, and Master Eon, listening to Kaos' idle threats in his temporary prison. The three Skylanders all shared a knowing glance to one another, as Kaos rambled on vowing to keep returning to conquer Skylands if he was to be banished to the Outlands again. Instead Kaos was banished to Earth, and shortly after his departure, Gill Grunt, along with Spyro and Trigger Happy, celebrated their victory together.

GameplayEdit

Gill Grunt can shoot harpoons and also launch torrents of water at his enemies using his harpoon gun. He can also use his water jet pack to hover above ground, and even fly.
