Grunt is a male peculiar with an unknown peculiarity. He was a resident at Miss Wren's Menagerie. He appears to be owned by Addison MacHenry, a peculiar dog.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Addison states that Grunt was "quite literally, raised in a barn."
Hollow City[]
He met Jacob and the rest of the peculiar children at Miss Wren's menagerie, after they dispose of the hollow in the loop. He temporarily gives the children a scare, before Addison arrives and explains that Grunt, although well-meaning, has rather rude behavior.
Due to having opposable thumbs, Grunt helps Addison make an elixir for a sick Claire. He later follows the group to see the loop's cemetery.
He is not mentioned after this.
Description[]
Physical Appearance[]
He has the appearance of a filthy humanoid with spotted, pale skin blotched with dark spots, wearing rags, carrying itself like an ape, and has very limited vocabulary, besides clapping, squealing, growling, and grunting. He has a furry face, yellow eyes and teeth, and matted hair.
Personality[]
Ironically, Grunt acts more like a dog than Addison (an actual dog) does. He responds to Addison's commands as a dog to its master would. When the peculiar children first meet Addison and Grunt, Grunt was noted to be smiling lopsidedly, "as if imagining how [the children's] brains might taste." Addison replies later that is how Grunt gives thanks since just earlier, Jacob, with help from Bronwyn, killed a hollow that was "most bothersome."
