In the distant jungles of what was once the sprawling subterranean city of the Drilla Empire, Grilla Drilla served among the guards for the Drilla King. Every seven years, the king would select the bravest and strongest guard to become their leader. It was during the last selection ceremony that a troll mining operation broke through the ground above them and quickly snatched the king, wanting to know the location of the famed Drilla Diamond. Having never ventured above ground, Grilla Drilla risked everything to defeat the trolls and rescue the Drilla King. In return for his bravery, Grilla was selected as the new leader. But he instead decided to join the Skylanders, where he could protect even more residents of Skylands.

Trivia
His base is unique, as it has a large amount of dirt on top of the leaves, compared to the standard Life base which only has leaves.
If Magna Charge uses his bottom half, they each become two alternate skylanders: one being as Grilla Charge, and the other as Magna Drilla. Since Magna Charge's top half can shoot rapidly and Grilla Drilla's bottom half uses a cocconut turret, Magna Drilla is effective against bosses like Mesmerelda.
Grilla Drilla's name is a play on Gorilla and Driller.
He is the second Skylander to create turrets, the other being Sprocket.
He is one of the few Skylanders with drilling related abilities (others include Drill Sergeant and Rubble Rouser).
His catchphrase is based on the quote, "If there's a will, there's a way".
In the 3DS version of SWAP Force, his secondary attack is to throw barrels similar to Donkey Kong.
In his Soul Gem preview, he is shown to have golden teeth during the gameplay.
During one of his idle animations, he can be seen picking something from his chest and then eating it, presumably a bug.
Out of every Skylander, Grilla Drilla currently has the longest catchphrase.
