'''Grenchlers''' are water based hunters native to the [[Torvus Bog]]. When hunting, a Grenchler hides and then springs onto prey when it draws near. Grenchlers can jump high and swim in pursuit of [[Samus]]. The Grenchler has two attacks; it can both bite and fire an electrical blast at Samus. The beast has one weak spot, which is caused by a genetic defect. That is, its back armor is vulnerable to explosive weaponry. Once its armor is gone, its exposed flesh can be targeted by Samus.

'''Grenchlers''' are water-based hunters native to [[Torvus Bog]]. These powerful predators have impressive natural might and are extremely aggressive.
Grenchlers appear as two legged lizards with armor and horns. The Grenchlers are grey, have a red underbelly, and have a blue tongue.
There are nine eyes on either side of their heads, eight on the upper jaw, and one on the lower jaw. They have several horns: one on their snout, two on the back of their head, and a large amount of spikes on their back armor.

When hunting, a Grenchler hides and then springs onto prey when it draws near. Grenchlers are amphibious, and can both jump to impressive heights and swim in pursuit of [[Samus Aran|Samus]] or other prey. The Grenchler has two main attacks: it can both bite and fire an electrical blast at Samus. The beast has one weak spot, which is caused by a genetic defect. That is, its back armor is vulnerable to explosive weaponry. Once its armor is gone, its exposed flesh can be targeted by Samus.<ref name="Logbook"/>
Dark Grenchlers are Grenchlers that have been corrupted by the [[Ing]]. They are much stronger than regular Grenchlers, but they can be defeated more easily by use of the [[Light Beam]]. Dark Grenchlers are much darker in color and their spikes are sharper and shaped more like spines. Their main horn also has a bluish tint to it.


Grenchlers are reptilian, bipedal lizards with armor and horns. The Grenchlers are gray, have a red underbelly, and a blue tongue. There are nine eyes on either side of their heads: eight on the upper jaw, and one on the lower jaw. They have several horns: one on their snout, two on the back of their head, and a large amount of spikes on their back armor. This makes the Grenchler very similar to [[Baby Sheegoth]]s in appearance and attacks.
== Grapple Guardian ==


The Grapple Guardian was a Grenchler possessed by an Ing that had the Grapple beam power up. It appears as a large Dark Grenchler with a blue horn, one large eye, and hair like spikes.
When fighting Samus, the Grapple Guardian charges at her. Samus can fire at its eye, agitating it. This will cause it to use the [[Grapple Beam]] against Samus. After losing most of its health, the Grapple Guardian loses its shell and creates a force field for itself.

|entry=Water-based reptilian predator. Well armored and deadly at any range. Its back shell is vulnerable to explosive blasts, however. <br/> The amphibious Grenchler lurks in marsh areas in search of prey. Fearless, it will spring from hiding and attack anything that moves. If it is unable to fell its prey with its powerful jaws, it will fire a potent burst of energy at them. Grenchlers have one weak spot - a genetic defect makes the shell on their back susceptible to explosive blasts. Remove the shell to expose a vulnerable nerve center, then target it to eliminate the creature.

''Darklings are drawn to possess vicious predators, making the Grenchler a prime candidate. Despite the added toughness gained from possession, the Dark Grenchler retains its one weakness. Remove the back shell with explosive blasts to expose its pain center, then attack the pain center to quickly dispatch the creature.''
 
===Grapple Guardian===
''Morphology: Grapple Guardian Grapple Beam powered darkling. Well-armored target utilizes Grapple Beam to ensnare enemies. Weak spots detect- ed: back shell and eye. Uses special attack when angered.''
 
''This darkling Grenchler has absorbed the power of the Grapple Beam. It will fire the beam to snare potential meals and pull them into its waiting jaws. The beam is powerful, and can attach to most surfaces, including your armor. Its eye region is sensitive; damage in the area can induce a state of anger in the target. A weak spot under the back shell is a prime target as well. When angered, it will use a special attack.''
