Gill Grunt was a brave soul who joined the Gillmen military in search of adventure. While journeying through a misty lagoon in the clouds, he met an enchanting mermaid. He vowed to return to her after his tour. Keeping his promise, he came back to the lagoon years later, only to learn a nasty band of pirates had kidnapped the mermaid. Heartbroken, Gill Grunt began searching all over Skylands. Though he had yet to find her, he joined the Skylanders to help protect others from such evil, while still keeping an ever-watchful eye for the beautiful mermaid and the pirates who took her.
Tidal Wave Gill Grunt is a Series 4 version of Gill Grunt. He has five other variants appearing in other Skylander games: Gill Grunt (Spyro's Adventure), Gill Grunt Series 2 (Giants), Anchors Away Gill Grunt (Swap Force), Elite Gill Grunt (Eon's Elite), and Deep Dive Gill Grunt (SuperChargers). He was sold with Wave 1 Skylanders with the release of Trap Team. He can be found in a single pack but Walmart has an exclusive Buddy Pack of Tidal Wave Gill Grunt and the mini Gill Runt. Of course this is NOT a good deal if you want to collect all of the minis because Gill Runt will be packaged with Thumpling and there has been no announcement that mini's will be sold separately. Tidal Wave Gill Grunt will also be part of Trap Team Triple Pack 2 with Blades and Torch. So choose carefully how you want to obtain this Skylander.
