Grull
Manifests on the page for the first time after a mantaur vessel's summon completes inside trainyard E, staged live as one half of a broadcast Death Challenge against Carl. A black-skinned, bull-headed centaur wielding a smoking double-headed axe, level 250 and invulnerable on this floor. His portrait merges with Prince Maestro's during the broadcast introduction, and Carl's own narration starts calling him Grull-Maestro once the fight turns personal, matching the announcer's earlier claim that the Maestro is Grull's sponsor for the event.

You haven't met this one yet, crawler. Records unseal as you read. The dungeon appreciates your impatience but does not reward it.
Appearance
- Appearance:
A black-skinned, overly-muscular minotaur-like beast with a horse's body instead of legs, a big bull's head with a golden ring through its snout, and a smoking double-headed axe with a living oak handle and a head that moves like still-molten metal. His front half alone stands about four stories tall, which Carl guesses, unconfirmed, is only a miniature version of his true formB3C33

Hunts him across trainyard E once summoned, smashing trains and cratering the ground with his axe, stepping on and flattening him at least twice without knowing it, and taunting him at length about his planet being forgotten; loses him to a series of decoys and gets banished before he can land a killing blowB3C33
