| — Gryll • Kirby's Super Star Stacker |
Gryll is the final boss of Kirby's Super Star Stacker and one of only a handful of final bosses that does not appear to be inherently evil.
Story
Gryll and co. set their sights on Planet Popstar in the credits.
During the course of the game, Gryll somehow finds their way to Planet Popstar with their three comrades, Salt, Pepper, and Sugar, and decides to challenge the planet's most skilled Star Stacker--who turns out to be Kirby.
Gryll shows up to give Kirby one last challenge after he beats King Dedede. In order to face Gryll, Kirby must have also beaten all other competitors without having to use a continue at any point. In their conversation prior to the battle, Gryll shows great confidence in their abilities; this confidence proves to be well-founded, as in spite of their playful nature, they prove to be a difficult opponent for Kirby, engaging him in a fierce duel. When they are finally beaten at their own game, Gryll (with a now-broken broom) and their three onion henchmen are seen beaten-down and weary-eyed among a tumbled-down collection of blocks.

Gryll and their friends
Gryll is a strange onion-like witch with a cheerful, upbeat personality. They have a small tuft of bright green hair and eyes of the same color. They wear bright red shoes with visible socks. They have a very large yellow and purple witch's hat with a miniature Star Block on the end. Their minions are also portrayed as onions.
Gryll is also shown to carry a broom with them at all times. The witch can use it to fly and is also shown to use it as a weapon; Gryll can comically bonk Kirby on the head with it after preforming a particularly high combo.
Trivia
- Gryll may have been an inspiration behind Drawcia's design, as the two final bosses have similarly-colored clothing and attributes (both possess the abilities of stereotypical sorceresses).
- Gryll's gender, despite appearing feminine, has not been confirmed, due to Kirby Super Star Stacker never being released outside of Japan. Furthermore, Queen Sectonia is considered the second female final boss in the series. That would mean Drawcia is the first female final boss, and not Gryll, because Gryll does not have a specified gender.
- Gryll uses the pronoun ボクちん (boku-chin), which means that Gryll is a tomboy or a tomgirl.[1]
- Gryll appears alongside Brobo in one of Stone's transformations in Kirby Star Allies.
- Gryll says "heyheyhey" like Marx.
