A Grim Keeper is a type of Hoodlum enemy which appears in Rayman 3.

Grim Keepers are noticeably larger than other Hoodlums. Seeming 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 indefinite number of Grims; hence their name. As the Grim Keepers themselves are unarmed, these Grims 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. 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.
