He is a mixture of Bill Clinton, Roseanne Barr, and Bigfoot. An obese hillbilly-esque man with shaggy black hair and overalls. One of his hands is a nub-like hook, and he has a third leg growing from the outside of his thigh. Grimm's first fight pits him against the skateboarding Pierce McCrack. The fight seems to end with McCrack as the victor, when he decapitates Grimm with a piercing-chain. However, Grimm grows a new body, and while McCrack is showing off to the crowd, Grimm pulls out his spine (with skull still attached) and impales him with it, saying "Welcome back." In his second fight, Grimm does not survive. He dices Potato Khan into tiny chunks that come alive. He eats them, but cause him to smash his own head in.
