'''Uncle Grimmly''' is a forty-five-year-old [[portrait ghost]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo 3DS remake]]. He has pale blue skin, an oval head, small yellow eyes, and jowls. He has a brown coat with two opal buttons, a dark purple necktie and a boutonniere on the left side.

==''Luigi's Mansion''==
Uncle Grimmly appears only during the [[blackout]], and he is the only portrait ghost with this distinction. In an optional phone call in the [[Telephone Room]], Luigi can learn from [[Professor E. Gadd]] that Uncle Grimmly holds the [[key]] to the [[Breaker Room]] and that he prefers to reside in rooms with mirrors; this is meant to hint to the [[Wardrobe Room]], where Uncle Grimmly is found hovering in front of a mirror. Upon seeing Luigi, Uncle Grimmly tries to scare Luigi by lifting up his hand and wailing, leaving him vulnerable to Luigi's flashlight. Once Uncle Grimmly is sucked into the [[Poltergust 3000]], Luigi can obtain the key to the Breaker Room, which had presumably been locked by Uncle Grimmly, and enter it.
Grimmly only appears after lightning strikes [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]], causing a power outage throughout the entire mansion. Grimmly locks the door of the previously accessible [[Breaker Room]], preventing Luigi from reactivating the breakers and restoring power to the mansion. Shortly after the lightning strike, Luigi receives a phone call from [[Professor E. Gadd]], who informs him that Uncle Grimmly holds the key and that he prefers to reside in rooms with mirrors (in the 3DS version, Professor E. Gadd says "rooms with clothes and a mirror" instead).


Grimmly resides in the [[Wardrobe Room]] on the second floor, where he hovers in front of a mirror. Upon seeing Luigi, he attempts to scare him by lifting up his hand and wailing. During this movement, the ghost is vulnerable to Luigi's flashlight, allowing him to be sucked up by [[Poltergust 3000]]. After weakly struggling, Uncle Grimmly is eventually captured and drops the key to the [[Breaker Room]].
Uncle Grimmly is thought to speak in a northern English dialect, since he uses the phrase "by gum" in his heart quote.
