The Legend of Vox Machina S2E09 Watch A Long

Hey Peaches! It's time for Grog's backstory, and hoooooly is it bloody. Turns out our mostly gentle giant wasn't always so gentle, and his tribe are serious bad guys lead by his uncle. Who killed him. Yeah, it's dark. But Grog's got a plan. Challenge his uncle to a fight for control of the Herd. Only one problem. Grog is currently not as yoked as he use to be. Hopefully he can find his strength soon.

Your Great-Grandfather the Fonz cleric was just missing a comment about his catchphrase... "Ayyyy...Men" :)

FalcorDragon

And yet, like many the fool before you what seemed to make no sense in the beginning had a truth in the end... or at least AT the end. Because our big boy is indeed priceless! ;)

Dammit. That's a solid comment. But it's on the wrong video. So oopsie I'm now an idiot.

"I like when they sprinkle things in....". Jay, you are priceless. 😀

It pretty much never comes up, but part of Grog's backstory was that he was a boot maker, and another member of the herd has said that Grog was the runt of the litter. My theory is that Grog was too little to go raiding with the herd, and would be left back at camp relegated to making boots for the rest of the herd. Wanting to be accepted, he trained like hell, obsessed with the notion to become strong. When he finally proved himself to be a warrior, he was allowed to join in on the raids, and came across Wilhand in one of those raids (happened a little differently in the campaign, so I'm fitting it into the canon of the show). Another fun fact about Grog is that he absolutely loves little folk, like gnomes and halflings. He was ecstatic to meet Pike's distant family members (literally screamed "GNOMES!!!" while running towards them), Kima was his favorite person outside the party, etc. My theory is that this was the first time he saw a gnome, and was struck by how small and defenseless that Wilhand was, and it sparked a desire to protect rather than kill.
