Grolsch

''"Ho ho ho ho!" A big blob descends from the hole in the cavern. A big blob with tentacles, and on the end of each tentacle is an eye, and in the centre of the blob is one big eye and underneath is a big mouth. And in each tentacle he's holding a mug of delicious Crackatinny beer.''


 * Luke, Episode 9: The Crackatinny Caper Part 2

History
Little is known of Grolsch's history before meeting with Gadai, McKenzie and Plank. At some point, he came to reside in the basement below the Crackatinny Brewery. It is not clear whether the brewery already existed, or whether he was able to force the gnomes to work for him.

Characteristics
Grolsch is a beerholder, a form of aberration which may be unique to Fantasy Australia. A large, floating figure dominated by a bloodshot eyeball and four tentacles each clutching a glass of beer, Grolsch is a braggard and bully who uses his powers and threats to control others.

Episode 9: The Crackatinny Caper Part 2
Grolsch appears from the ceiling of his underground lair as the seven gnomes under his control lead Gadai, McKenzie and Plank into the chamber.

He initially tries to persuade the three to stay and also serve him, then is intrigued by Plank's wager of an Iron Flask and the freedom of the gnomes on who can answer a mathematical question more quickly. Despite Plank's confidence, Grolsch wins the wager.

As a result, the group attack. Grolsch attempts to use his various beams to control or disorientate the group, but when Plank throws a Gnomish Grenade he takes the full blast and is killed.
