Grambi



Grambi (called "Grams" by Queen Jaydes) is a character from Super Paper Mario, where he is introduced as the king of The Overthere. He is also Luvbi's father and although he appears grumpy at times, he still cares a lot for his daughter. His name is a portmanteau of "Grampy" and "Nimbi".

Just as Jaydes is based on Hades, the ancient Greek lord of the underworld, Grambi may be based on Zeus, the god of the sky and ruler of Mount Olympus in Greek mythology. Additionally, as The Overthere also borrows from Christian theism, certain aspects of Grambi are shared with God, such as his position as chief of the angelic Nimbis and his conflict with Bonechill (whose story greatly resembles that of Lucifer), however Grambi is not credited with creating the world or life and is not omniscient or omnipotent.

When Mario escorts Luvbi to The Overthere from The Underwhere, The Overthere is found under siege by Skellobits, with a majority of the Nimbis (the inhabitants of The Overthere) and Grambi being trapped in ice. Grambi was confronted by Bonechill when Mario and co. arrived at his shrine, and they have to defeat the villain. It is then revealed that Luvbi was in fact the eighth and final Pure Heart, which was entrusted to Grambi and Jaydes, and she returns to her true form after a tearful goodbye with her parents.

After the player completes the game and returns everything back to normal, the player can go back to Grambi's temple in The Overthere, where they can find him standing there with Queen Jaydes and Luvbi. It is unknown how Luvbi returned to her Nimbi form.
