Grimlocks



Grimlocks are white-fleshed demons with whirling red eyes who usually dwell within sewer systems. They choke good individuals to death by seeing the auras that surround them, which they are able to do with the eyesight of children. The stolen eyesight only lasts 24 hours, given that the children are still alive. When the children are not useful anymore, the Grimlocks consume them.Grimlocks are vulnerable to a vanquishing potion made out of shisandra root and to the lethal powers of witches.

They... held me down, I remember blue sparks hitting my face. My eyes felt like they were on fire and, uh, that was the last thing I ever saw."—Brent Miller describes his captors with Phoebe.[src]During the 1980s, Brent Miller was kidnapped by Grimlocks when he was a young boy. After they had stolen his eyesight, he was able to escape. Years later, he helped Phoebe Halliwell when two other boys were kidnapped in 1999. After the Grimlocks were vanquished, Brent regained his sight.[1]First Encounter with the Charmed OnesEditPiper: "Nothing."Phoebe: "Did you look under whirling eyes?"Piper: "About an hour ago. I found demons with no eyes, demons with four eyes, eyes that grow legs, but no whirling eyes. Did you find anything?"Phoebe: "I found some news clippings about the kidnapping twenty years ago. Ah, both boys were taken in the same place as David. And one of them was never seen again."— Piper and Phoebe trying to find out more about the Grimlocks.[src] Janor runs off with David.On the 5th of May in 1999, a young boy named David Hatcher was kidnapped by a duo of Grimlocks at his own birthday party. The Charmed Ones, who were befriended with David's mother Dee, were going to do everything to get David back from the white-skinned demons. Phoebe asks Brent about his captors.Arriving at their home, the first thing they did was as usually, research their Book of Shadows. Although Piper could not find anything about demons with whirling eyes, Phoebe found news paper clippings online. They told them that the same thing had happened twenty years ago and that the sole survivor, a boy named Brent Miller, had turned blind. With this new information, Phoebe went out to talk to Brent, who said that the demons kept talking about auras. Phoebe rushed home to Piper and together they found an entry on auras and Grimlocks. The children reunited with their mothers.When Prue arrived home, she started working on the vanquishing potion to destroy Grimlocks and Piper and Phoebe went out to find the Grimlocks' hiding place. Phoebe had gone back to Brent who showed her a map of storm drains. Together with Piper she went out to investigate the sewers. They contacted Prue to meet them there so that they could vanquish the Grimlocks.During their investigation of the sewers, Piper fell into a deep pit. After Prue arrived, she lifted Piper up from the pit and asked Andy to assist her back to the car (Andy was present at the time because a reporter had followed Prue into the sewers.). Prue and Phoebe went on to vanquish the Grimlocks and free David and the other child who got kidnapped. They brought them to the police station where they were reunited with their mothers. Taking Revenge on All Hallow's EveEdit Phoebe before realizing who the trick-or-treaters really are.Kava: "Trick or treat!"Phoebe: "Oh my God, that is so weird. They look just like the grim-- whoa!"— Phoebe upon seeing the Grimlocks at her front door.[src]On the October 31st of 2000, the Grimlocks who were previously vanquished by the Charmed Ones a year earlier returned back from the death. They sought revenge on the trio of sisters and took advantage of the thin veil between the worlds on Halloween. The Grimlocks Janor and Kava choking Phoebe and Piper.They rang the doorbell which Phoebe answered. Thinking they were trick-or-treaters, Phoebe opened the door and started laughing, thinking that the trick-or-treaters looked a lot like the Grimlocks they had faced a little over a year ago. Phoebe quickly realizes, however, that they are not trick-or-treaters and in fact are those Grimlocks they have vanquished. Janor and Kava enter the manor trying to choke both Piper and Phoebe but are flinged into the living room by Prue. Janor being vanquished again.The two Grimlocks did not get another chance to attack the sisters, as they had disappeared through a time portal, however, they attacked Leo Wyatt and Darryl Morris instead, blinding the latter for several hours. Later that night, Leo was able to vanquish Kava with the Grimlock vanquishing potion, however, he was unable to do so with Janor who had begun choking Leo, spilling the potion onto the floor.On that moment, the Charmed Ones returned from their time travel trip and Prue was able to vanquish Janor for a second time by flinging the spilled liquid of the potion on to his face, exactly like she did the first time.[2] The Meeting with Cole/The SourceEdit A Grimlock and Harpy leader at Cole's meeting.Cole: "It's a new millennium. We need to think of new ways to ensure our own survival. Let's face it, it's a demon-eat-demon world out there. Each one of you leads a faction, but that is the problem. You're too busy trying to kill each other. In the end, everyone loses."Harpie Leader: "Tell that to the Grimlocks. They tried to vanquish us just last week."Grimlock leader: "You had it coming."Harpie Leader: "Care to try again."— A Grimlock and a Harpie at Cole's meeting.[src]When Cole Turner became the Source of All Evil, he gathered with several leaders of demonic clans. One of them was a Grimlock. His clan had a fued with the local Harpies. A few days later, this Grimlock was chased by the Charmed Ones to question him on Vampires. As it seemed later on, Cole trusted the Grimlocks and not the Harpies after they had attacked the Charmed Ones and harmed Phoebe.[3] A Grimlock at Zahn's auction.At Zahn's AuctionEditGrimlock: "One hundred for all three."Piper: "Sold to the dead Grimlock."— The Grimlock's final words before his vanquish.[src]When Paige Matthews' soul and body were to be auctioned off by Zahn, a demonic soul trader, many demons placed high bids on her. One of the bidders who attended the auction was a Grimlock, who offered 15 powers for Paige's soul. Just then, Piper and Phoebe appeared.
