List of hostile NPCs

[[File:Grawl martial.jpg|right|200px]]
The [[Grawl]] are humanoid [[Creature type|creatures]] roaming [[Tyria]] from the [[Charr Homelands]] to the southern areas of the [[Shiverpeak Mountains]]. This species has an ape like physique and seems to possess a primitive form of culture with a social hierarchy and different professions.

While the Grawl are seen fighting beside the [[Charr]] quite often, there is no clear evidence that they are allies. The only sign of organized cooperation between the two was working alongside [[Vatlaaw Doomtooth]] and later an attempt to form an alliance by [[Torch Harrowkeeper]]. [[Galton Franks]], a collector for the Ebon Vanguard, seems to believe that ''"the grawl are either proto-Charr or, more likely, an important source of Charr nutrition"''.

While the exact nature of their religious beliefs are unknown, [[Durmand]] believes that their necklaces hold some evidence for their religious tendencies. Along with that, the Grawl seem to congregate at a few locations with statues to the [[Gods of Tyria]] - such as at [[Melandru]]'s statue at [[King's Watch]], [[Lyssa]]'s statue outside the [[Ruins of Surmia (outpost)|Ruins of Surmia]] outpost, and outside the [[Temple of Grenth]].

In [[Regent Valley]], there are groups of Grawl who fight each other: the [[Grawl Petitioner]]s and [[Grawl Heretic]]s. These two groups indicate a form of civil or religious split.

As theorized by [[Nicholas Sandford]], the number of necklaces worn by a grawl may indicate a special status or strength. Nicholas further speculates that the Grawl have to outnumber the necklaces worn before they can attack.
