A '''Grim Keeper''' is a type of [[Hoodlum]] enemy which appears in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Its name is a pun on "Grim Reaper".

Grim Keepers are noticeably larger than other [[Hoodlum]]s. These heavy infantry soldiers seem to care almost exclusively for their own protection, Grim Keepers carry a large, impenetrable shield which they carry around in front of them making them difficult to hit. Underneath their robes, the Grim Keepers keep an infinite number of [[Grim]]s; hence their name. As the Grim Keepers themselves are unarmed, these [[Grim]]s are their only means of offence. Every now and then they pull up their robe to allow a single [[Grim]] to run free at [[Rayman]]. Apart from the Grim Keepers in [[Racket Jump]], there are only two Grim Keepers in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

A Grim Keeper is playable in the minigame [[Racket Jump]], in which the player competes with another Grim Keeper is a game of tennis. Instead of rackets they use their shields, while the ball is in fact a bottle of plum juice supplied by a [[Grim]].

In an early piece of artwork, a Grim Keeper was shown ~~swinging~~ a ~~mace above its head~~. Whether this was its original weapon is ~~unclear~~.

In [[Rayman 3 (early production)|an early piece of artwork]], a Grim Keeper was shown holding a flail. Whether this was its original weapon is unknown.

*In the Spanish version of ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the in-game description mentions that the Grim Keeper is a former female private teacher, which would make this [[Hoodlum]] a [[Cagoulette]] in this version.
