Appearance
Grunderbite is a large, brown version of the forest dragons encountered in Teensies In Trouble, with a few minor differences, such as fins added to his back, the sides of his face and to his chin. He also has huge, tattered wings, and four comparatively tiny limbs. During the last phase of the battle, his eyes turn red, and he gets increasingly more beat up.
