Grimlock

Monstrous Humanoid · SM +0 Grimlock (Enraged Eggplant; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)

A stocky dull-grey humanoid whose brow is smooth and sealed where eyes should be, with prominent ears and a broad nose that do the work instead. It knows its own caverns perfectly, fights with an axe, and eats what it kills, including people.

Description

Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/grimlock.gct
• Source template total: -22 points.
• Library-rebuilt template total: -22 points.
• CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
• GCS ancestry reconciliation adjudicated: the published template total is -22 points and the parsed source children sum to 33, a difference of -55. Classified as large grouped construction not decomposed — a large residual: this record's source entry groups a substantial block of abilities (typically spellcasting, breath weapons, or an alternative-ability set) into a single construction that the prose parser could not decompose. The author's published total is preserved and the residual stays visible as a reconciliation child rather than being silently absorbed. The authorized source total is preserved; the remaining manual step is opening gcs/grimlock.gct in GCS to replace the reconciliation child with native constructions where the grouped ability can be decomposed.
• CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 15, PR 11, CER 26, threat tier standard.
• Encounter metadata derived (gregarious): average number appearing 2, wandering weight 3. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
• Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
• Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-policy.md.
• Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b2-gcs-reconciliation); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
• The source-total difference is classified and documented in conversionNotes; the authorized published total is preserved and the residual stays visible as a reconciliation child.
• Visual GCS verification of the .gct is not claimed by this decision; checks.gcsVisualPass is false.
