'''Grindels''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] that debut in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They appear as mummified [[Thwomp]]s, each with a pair of small round eyes and a grin on its face (hence the name). Compared to Thwomps in the same game, they are a more perfect cube shape and appear to be made of a darker, metallic stone under their wraps. | |||

A similar creature is the [[Spindel]], which looks very similar to the Grindel but is instead cylindrical. | |||

In ''Super Mario 64'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Grindels appear only inside the [[Shifting Sand Land#Inside the pyramid|pyramid]] in the level [[Shifting Sand Land]]. They attack in the same way as a Thwomp, floating up in the air vertically and falling over the ground, squashing anybody below them. Grindels can also move horizontally by [[jump]]ing back and forth. In the remake, they have whiter teeth. | |||

Grindels also appear in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' in the [[minigame]] [[Lava Tile Isle]]. Here, seven Grindels form a platform over a pool of [[lava]]. Before they change positions, they slowly shake. When they do move, they leave gaps between them (characters do not remain on Grindels when they move), and characters may fall into the lava. | |||
