Grendels, or Cyberlifogenis vicious, are the first product of the Shee Experiments, before after the ettins and the norns.
Dispelling of Common Grendel Myths
| 1) | grendels do not "spread disease" | |
| a) | They become sick just as often as norns do. | |
| b) | They pass these diseases on in the same way norns do. | |
| 2) | grendels are not intentionally violent | |
| a) | They have genes that make them angry when they hear or see norns - breedable grendel genomes don't contain such genes. | |
| b) | Even if they want to kiss or tickle norns, the game is scripted to automatically make them hit them instead - note that the Grendel Friendly cob fixes this whilst simultaneously stopping them secreting glycotoxin and making them able to breed, but only if they have a genome allowing them to be fertile. | |
| 3) | grendels do not "steal food" | |
| a) | They merely eat food as and when they need it, as any hungry creature will | |
| b) | Grendel territory is low on food resources so they are forced to wander into norn areas if they are to find food and not starve. | |
| c) | No food is actually labelled. Food is common property like everything else. | |
According to Steve Grand in his Mythography, Grendels were originally going to be
"A Grendel is a solitary, highly pugnacious creature, resembling a unknown, titanium spider."
In Creatures 3, there is a species of animal in the Desert Terrarium called the Uglee (Bruttoia albiania)
which is a relative of the grendel
