Quotes

In town While killing players after Grenth wins the finale:

"<character name> be nimble, <character name> be quick, <character name> I'll poke both your eyes out with sticks!"

"<character name>, there's nothing that you can do, when you let your guard down I am coming for you!"

Dwayna Vs Grenth:

When spoken to be a member of either team:

"They say 'tis a season of love and goodwill, I say 'tis a season of making you ill!"

When Dwayna's team scores:

"Waaaa! You're a mean one, <character name>!"

When Grenth's team scores:

"Another present smashed all to bits, Wintersday is really the...er...best!"

"Nothing but this will give me great joy: to see Dwayna's children weep o'er broken toys."

During How the Grentches Stole Wintersday:

"I am Grenth's servant, at your command. Tell me who dies, and it's all well in hand!"

Items dropped

• Glob of Frozen Ectoplasm (only during You're a Mean One, Mr. Grenth)

Notes

• They spawn and drop Presents in Lion's Arch and Kamadan, Jewel of Istan during a Wintersday finale after Grenth wins. They chase players and cause instant death when reaching melee range.
• If a grentch targets a player that they cannot reach, the player will be teleported to the grentch.

Trivia

• They appeared in Tomb of the Primeval Kings only during Wintersday 2005.
• Prior to the December 15, 2011 update, they appeared in Ascalon City, Droknar's Forge, Lion's Arch, and Kamadan during Wintersday for the grentch activity.

• Dialogue:

"I'm looking for presents that I can destroy, try to sneak past and I'll break all your toys!"

• Quote:

After destroying presents:

"Another present smashed all to bits, Wintersday is really the...er...best!"

• These monsters are most likely a reference to The Grinch from How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, a book by Dr.Seuss.
• Their appearance is similar to that of the Gremlins.
