Gronk sought the love and care of queens — and he has found it. It’s a shame he can no longer so much as speak his name.

Lore

Gronk the Fourteenth was the pampered heir of a dwarf clan. When the Chorus echoed through the lands, Gronk eagerly embraced the chance to join a power that promised victory and wealth.

Charming and likable, he sought the affection of the Hive’s Queens. While he succeeded, he underestimated their love, and it transformed him in unexpected ways. Finding one day his body covered in oils, Groo lost his hair, his skin sagged, and his once‑strong hands weakened, gradually turning him into a sentient larva.
