Grimlock

Grimlocks are white-fleshed demons that dwell within the sewer system and feed on the positive energy surrounding good individuals, this positive soul energy is known as an Aura.

Grimlocks steal the eyesight of children enabling them to see the aura that surrounds a good person and chokes them with it. The eyesight fades within 24 hours and can only be used if the child is alive, after those 24 hours, the Grimlocks consume the child.

Grimlocks are vunerable to a vanquishing potion made out of shisandra root and also molecular combustion as shown when Piper blows one up in Soul Survivor to make a point after he tries to buy her and her sisters at Auction.

In season 7, it is revealed female Grimlocks lay eggs.

Vanquishing Potion Recipe
To vanquish a Grimlock, blind it with a potion made of Shisandra root and thyme, and they may also be vanquished by individual witch powers such as molecular combustion if the witch they face is strong enough. ("Out of Sight")

Appendices



 * (Book of Shadows text:)

Grimlocks

 * are white demons
 * with whirling red eyes,
 * Underground Demons who roam
 * from city to city killing powerful forces of Good
 * by seeing the unique Auras that surround
 * them, which they are able to do by stealing
 * the sight of innocent children.
 * 'The stolen eyesight will last twenty-four
 * hours, but only if the children are alive.
 * After the children's use has waned,
 * the Grimlocks consume them.
 * To Destroy a Grimlock:
 * Gather a Shisandra Root
 * on a Wednesday of a waxing moon.
 * Lighting an Orange or Gold candle,
 * Create an infusion by slowly boiling the root
 * in a Ritual Vessel.
 * Throw the Infusion into the Grimlock's Eyes
 * All will melt away to What it Was.

Note

 * Sometimes a Grimlock will not only feed on the soul energy of a victim but they will consume them also as the Book of Shadows entry states, in the case of Brent Miller, only his eyesight was stolen and he survived the attack.
 * Destroying the Grimlock who stole the eyesight of the victim will restore it, as in the case with Brent Miller.
