Appearance

Grunderbite is a large, brown version of the 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.

Grunderbite appears in the fighting game Brawlhalla, where he is called the Medieval Dragon, as a Knockout Effect—a special animation that plays when an opponent is knocked off of the realm. It costs 240 Mammoth Coins to be usable in online matchmaking.
