==Properties==
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.


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.

Grenchlers are water-based hunters native to Torvus Bog. These powerful predators have impressive natural might and are extremely aggressive.

Properties[edit | edit source]

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 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.[1]

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 Sheegoths in appearance and attacks.
