Notes

• Grentches in the Underworld have a projectile attack which uses the same projectile graphics as the Snowball spell, but only does 18 damage at armor 60 characters. This means that, unlike players, they can continue to attack while their skills are disabled.
• As of Wintersday 2007 Grentches are able to teleport out of areas where they could be trapped in previous years. (e.g. near the lighthouse).

Trivia

• Grentches are a reference to the Grinch from the Dr. Seuss book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!".
• The design of the Grentches is heavily influenced by the look of the Gremlins from the Gremlins movie.
