Nicktoons - The Gromble

Probably the scariest piece I've ever done. I showed the lineart to my co-workers and they freaked. Well, since the Gromble's a monster and scaring's his job....mission accomplished!


The Gromble's playstyle revolves around performing combos and using his Frightening Scare move at the end of them to increase his 'Scare Factor'. The higher it becomes, the more effective the Gromble becomes. It also causes his appearance to become a lot more frightening. Here is what you can expect to happen at each Scare Factor Level:

1: Default appearance, calls on Ickus, Krumm and Oblina to perform moves
2. Eyes turn blood red, claws get longer (increased range)
3: Gains the ability to fly on red bat-like wings, number of attacks increase
4: Gains four arms, teeth turn into sharp fangs, attacks do more damage, speed increases, no longer calls on monsters to do moves (does it himself).


You can see the changes with each level here:

The Gromble

From: "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters!"
First Appearance: Pilot Episode, October 29th, 1994 (As the Womble)

Bio: The Gromble is the strict headmaster of the Monster Academy, determined to whip his monstrous students into shape by making them scare humans. This isn't just a way of life- it's necessary for their species' survival, as, if humans stopped believing or fearing monsters, they would vanish forever!

One day, while consulting the Pool of Elders, the Gromble got a disturbing warning from it - a great and powerful threat was approaching, and was threatening to eradicate all of humanity in the process. The Gromble knew what he had to do, although he hated the thought - he had to team up with the Nicktoon Heroes to stop it. After all, no humans to scare, no more reasons for monsters to exist. With three of his students in tow, the Gromble heads out to show all who stand in his way the true meaning of terror!


Special Powers:

- Can alter appearance and shape to instigate terror in humans
- Empowered by the Pool of Elders with the 'Substance of all Fear', the more he scares his opponents, the more frightening and powerful his body will become
- Can call upon his students for various attacks
