Grief-Bringer (referred to as Mief-Bringer by the Munce) was a dragon that travelled to the Dungeons of Shintaro. He once menaced the Geckles and Munce until he was killed by Lilly. Many years later, he was resurrected as an undead dragon by Vangelis in the hopes of disrupting the truce meeting between the Geckles and Munce and instill fear in them. However, he was killed yet again when the Skull of Hazza D'ur was destroyed by Cole.
History[]
Prior to the series[]
More than fifteen years ago,[1] Grief-Bringer terrorized the caverns of the Geckles and Munce but was killed by Lilly.[2]
Grief-Bringer[]
Years later, Hazza D'ur informed Vangelis of an impending truce meeting between the Munce and the Geckles. The two agreed to bring the bones of Grief-Bringer back to life to interrupt the meeting and keep them in fear of his rule.
The resurrected dragon did just that and accompanied by an army of Re-Awakened, forced the Geckles, Munce, and the ninja to flee. Zane and Lloyd tried to hold the dragon while the others escaped. Zane made an ice wall to shield everyone from the dragon's green magic. Grief-Bringer began to overwhelm the Ninja of Ice, but Lloyd powered up an attack that destroyed the dragon. However, the magic from the Skull of Hazza D'ur brought the skeletal dragon back to life once more.
The Darkest Hour[]
The Geckles, Munce, and ninja escaped to the Geckle Strong-Cave. Grief-Bringer proceeded to try and bring the door of the cave down by ramming into it repeatedly. When the ninja surrendered, Grief-Bringer accompanied the Re-Awakened back to the Skull Keep.
The Upply Strike Back![]
Vangelis taunted the captured ninja and informed them of his intention to have Grief-Bringer destroy them in front of the enslaved workers to affirm his rule over them. A chamber was constructed to house the beast. When came the time for the ninja's execution, an Awakened Warrior goes to open the gate but it was destroyed by Cole before the gate could be opened.
As a fight ensued to free the ninja and the workers, Grief-Bringer used his breath to melt the gate to free itself.
The Son of Lilly[]
The dragon joined the fight and attacked Cole, before being instructed to attack the workers, ninja, and the Upply. When the Army of Shintaro arrived to aid the heroes, Wu and Chompy targeted the beast.
When the Skull of Hazza D'ur is destroyed by Cole, Grief-Bringer is reduced to bones once again, just as he is about to collide with Chompy.
Powers and abilities[]
- Pyrokinetic Breath - Similar to other dragons, Grief-Bringer possessed the ability to exhale fire, initially emitting an orange hue.
- Prasino-Pyrokinetic Breath - Following his revival, Grief-Bringer's fire breath has taken on a green tint due to its infusion with Dark Magic.[3]
- Reformation - After being empowered by Hazza D'ur's magic, Grief-Bringer gained the ability to rebuild himself whenever he is destroyed.
- Flight - Grief-Bringer can fly thanks to his wings.
Appearance[]
Grief-Bringer looked like any other dragon, but after his death, was made out of bones with glowing green eyes. He has a lime green orb in his rib cage that presumably acts like his heart.

Trivia[]
- He's the seventh villainous dragon to appear in the series. The first six were the Nindroid MechDragon, Morro's dragon, Ghost Dragons, Boreal, the Empire Dragon, and the Red Dragon.
- He's the second villainous dragon that doesn't have the word "dragon" in his name, the first being Boreal.
- He is similar to Wojira. Both terrorized their area before they were defeated by a female Elemental Master using a higher-level ability. Years later, they were reawakened by a non-human antagonist using an ancient artifact and were defeated by a ninja using the same high-level ability to destroy the source of their power.
- He was probably not native to the Shintaro Mountain.[5]
