* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Not only is it exactly based on the Dedede Robot from the cancelled [=GameCube=] game, it is also clearly based on HR-H from ''Kirby 64''. Both are [[HumongousMecha Humongous Mechas]] that are fought at the end of the apparent penultimate level (Shiver Star and Egg Engines), which both take place in [[EternalEngine abandoned factories]], and attack with their massive arms, [[MacrossMIssileMassacre shooting missiles into the air]] and firing lasers from their eyes. They also start off [[BackgroundBoss attacking from the background]] before they attack Kirby on the stage itself after they TurnRed.

* CallForward: Its pause screens in ''Deluxe'' mention that it was designed as a security officer, which references the Security Force robots based on it in ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''. It even uses the word "exterminate" (in Japanese, ''kujo suru'') to describe its actions -- a word that is closely associated with (and often used by) Susie.

[[quoteright:307:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ksstst_grill.png]]

-->''"Hey hey hey! Are you truly so strong? I'm gonna give it a try!"''

The FinalBoss of the SNES version of ''Kirby's Star Stacker'', who roams the outer space looking for the planets' best Star Stacker to challenge them - and whose attention turns towards Popstar and Kirby.
-----
* AmbiguousGender: Their gender is never specified; while Gryll looks feminine at first glance, they also use the masculine "''[[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns boku-chin]]''" to refer to themselves, and a ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' Website/{{Miiverse}} [[https://web.archive.org/web/20160110175851/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkST2hKzg post]] does not count Gryll among the series' female final bosses.
* BroomstickQuarterstaff: They can use their broomstick to thwack Kirby on the head.
* TheCameo:
** Cameos in ''Planet Robobot'' as a rare sticker.
** Also cameos in ''Star Allies'' as one of the Stone's forms, alongside Brobo of ''Kirby's Block Ball''.
* CuteWitch: Looks like one, complete with the typical witch hat and FlyingBroomstick.
* SpiritedCompetitor: Gryll is looking for a challenge across multiple planets and is notably the only final boss to not be a bad person. This is reflected in the "Bad Boss Brothers" celebration picture in ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', which depicts all the series' final bosses up to that point; Gryll is the closest to Popstar next to [[TheAtoner King Dedede]].
* TrueFinalBoss: Gryll only comes up if you manage to beat all opponents in the story mode without continuing.
