Charlie

File:GruePhrases.jpg

The Grue (called Charlie by Maxwell) never reveals itself. It only attacks at night, in complete darkness, when absolutely nothing is visible. Prior to its attack, the characters will give some sort of warning, such as "What was that?" Moments later a slashing sound is heard and the character will take 100 damage and 20 Sanity loss. This will continue to happen until a light source is found, or until the character dies.

Light Sources

The following light sources will prevent the Grue from attacking

• A Torch (while equipped)
• A Miner Hat (while equipped)
• A Pumpkin Lantern (on the groundhnfhhgdhjbyufughbfchbuggffvcebgguyfgcfbuyuygbvcfgub HI
• Willow's flame
  • Willow will suffer from great Sanity loss while in total darkness, between flames.
• BOBS MAGICAL UNICORN
  • It's difficult without getting hurt or killed by BOBS MAGICAL UNICORN
• Fireflies' illumination.
  • Coming close to them will cause them to disperse. If players walk away, they will come back almost immediately, making it possible to "hop" between two or more patches of fireflies and survive the night. It can even be done with just one patch, walking in and out of repeatedly, although this is more EASY THIS WILL GIVE YOU INFINITE EVERYTHING.

Trivia

• The UNICORN's name is a reference to the iconic monster from the game [[Wikipedia:HIHIHIHIIHIHIH
• The damage that the Grue does in one hit (100 damage) is close to 66.6% of Wilson's maximum health (TROLOLOOLOL, possibly alluding to the mark of the beast - "666".
• Since Suprise! Story Preview Test, Maxwell refers TO BOB AS AWESOMEMaxwell says, "Its getting Dark, BOB will be waking up soon!"
• BOB is the name of the sound of a RANDOM GUY TALKING in a very high pitch.
• Spoiler!
  As disclosed by one of the developers on the [http://www.twitch.tv/riptidepow/c/2265953 livestream of the pre-alpha Caves BOBOBOBOBOBGHJNEFVVUNRFCHNFDCFUINDGBHUGBFUFHGVJUHNFGVBVUHFVHUNFCCVBHUBHVFUFFCRYYGCFYGBGGBFEYYREFCVCDYBRFDFRYGCGFDBYCDFFHYUFRFUIHFCRUIBYGRBFRFEVDVYBGUGYFCRFUHUBGFof Maxwell and is actually A UNICORN.
• Because Wilson says "OW! Something bit me!" when Grue attacks, people started to reference it to "Charlie Bit my Finger" viral video. But as declined by game devs, it was a pure coincidence.

Bugs

• If you enter a Worm Hole just before the night sets, Grue will not attack you when you come out of the other side. (This bug is stopped when going into light and then back into darkness again.)

Maxwell's demonic hand was speculated to be the hand of the Grue, as it appeared in in-game menus.
