Biology
Grimmsnarl's body is covered in tightly wrapped hair that serve as muscle fibers, enhancing its muscular ability. These hairs can also be used to ensnare its foes similarly to tentacles.
Design & origin
Grimmsnarl is inspired by mythical creatures such as the troll, the ogre and the oni.
Forms
Gigantamax Grimmsnarl
When Gigantamaxed, Grimmsnarl is almost completely covered in hair, except for its face and the red diamond-shaped marking on its torso. Its limbs are longer and a bit more slender, with its body hair forming fingers and toes.
It can form drills out of its leg and foot hair powerful enough to break through the terrain of the Galar region. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Snooze.

Its hairs work like muscle fibers. When its hairs unfurl, they latch on to opponents, ensnaring them as tentacles would.
