===Biography===
When he was young, Grim Creeper visited the prestigious Grim Acres School for Ghost Wrangling, hoping to attend as a student. But when the Scaremaster interviewed him, he found that Grim didn't have any of the usual training that other students had. Because of this, he was turned away. However, as the young Grim was about to leave, a herd of rampaging ghosts suddenly flooded the school -- carrying away the faculty and leaving the students to fend for themselves. Grim Creeper stood his ground -- not only defending the other students, but using his amazing reaping talents to fight back the ghosts and contain them until help could arrive. Now a Skylander, Grim is considered one of the best reapers ever to swing a scythe, proving that studies alone are no substitute for bravery, passion and true heroic spirit.

[[File:Grim_Creeper_Slam_Bam.jpg|thumb|266px|Grim Creeper showing off his skills to Slam Bam.]]For his first mission, Grim Creeper was assigned to help [[Eruptor]] and [[Slam Bam]] at [[The Frost Seas]]. After saving an exedition camp from a group of [[Cyclopses]] lead by [[Bloodshot]], he and the two other Skylanders came upon a tunnel that lead to what remained of a frozen kingdom. [[Master Eon]] soon appeared and explained that the kingdom belonged to King [[Nefarion]], a wicked being who terrorized Skylands with the Mask of Power. Suddenly, strange changes began to occur, as [[Kaos]] had made his way to the past and began changing history. Before their eyes, [[Professor Splinters]] morphed into a servant of Kaos, affected by the time change, and Master Eon quickly sent Grim Creeper, Eruptor and Slam Bam to the past to stop Kaos.
