A monster from the third season of the television horror anthology series "Tales From The Darkside". The Grither is a monster that appears in the episode "Seasons of Belief".
At first, the Grither seems to be a made-up story by very creative parents who seem to tell tall tales to their children.
The Grither was born on a sailing ship that got lost in the Arctic sea. They drifted about for weeks but saw nothing except icebergs and glaciers. Some passengers drowned or froze to death or committed suicide. The Grither was born out of the rage of all of those people who died. No one knows why the Grither kills.
The Grither is a "fiercesome, dangerous, and appalling creature" that lives at the North Pole. The more times you say the Grither's name out loud, he hears you and will come closer, because he doesn't like to hear himself being talked about. He has very good ears and they get a bit bigger any time his name is spoken, anywhere on Earth.
He lives in the coldest wettest cave on earth on the other side of Santa Claus' workshop. The grither lives in a ship that somehow got stuck inside of the cave, but doesn't like to be wet or cold.
The Grither is so-named because he has fists as big as basketballs and arms as long as boa-constrictors, and whenever he finds the person who has used his name in vain he grithers them in. He is as tall as a poplar, but he can bend all the way over and touch the ground. His skin looks like a roadmap, and he is very white so his veins show through. The blue is for fear, and the red is for rage.
Not only do the Grither's ears grow bigger whenever one mentions his name, but if they become extremely large, they can be used for flight.
The Grither is not to be confused with either the Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman. The only people who have ever seen the Grither are those the Grither has eaten.
The Grither sings a song when he approaches his victims. The song goes like this:
"Oh, I am the Grither
You cannot escape me,
For pleading is useless
And so are your prayers
The Grither is greedy,
For only one thing,
To keep you from taking
To keep you from taking
To keep you from taking
His name in vain."
There are further verses that tell what he looks like.

Get the Grither mug.An imaginary childhood monster similar to the boogeyman. It hides under beds and in closets and comes out at night to terrorize small children.
Tommy: Mommy I don't want to eat my veggies.
Mother: If you don't finish your vegetables the Grither will get you in the night.
My mom used to tell that if I wasn't good the Grither would come an eat me.

Get the Gaither high school mug.A racially diverse high school in Montgomery County whose mascot is the Trojans (yes, very funny). Although it has a bad reputation (a local newspaper published an article calling the school a "gang factory") and students often complain that the building is falling apart (well, OK, it is), GHS has excellent athletic, art, and academic programs available for students who choose to be involved. Unfortunately, the school had three different principals from 2003 to 2007.
Gaithersburg High School student: "Yeah, I go to Gaithersburg."
Churchill student: "Oh, I'm sorry..."
or
GHS student: "Yeah, I go to Gaithersburg."
Whitman student: "Aren't you terrified?!"
GHS student: "Uhh, no?"

Get the Gaithersburg High School mug.a suburb of washington, dc. located inbetween rockville, darnestown, olney and germantown, right in the middle of montgomery county, the 3rd most affluent county in the US. voted 17th best place to live in the entire united states by money magazine and cnn online in 2005. notorious for being "ghetto" and de-SPIC-able, it's actually very weathly. the median household income is over $80,000 (more than twice the national average and more than both germantown and olney). less urban than rockville, older than germantown and less rich than bethesda, it's not that bad if you don't live in/near montgomery village or directly off of 355(where you will either be pulled over, arrested, and/or shot). BTW ZIP CODE 20878 + 20850 YOU LIVE IN GAITHERSBURG NOT NORTH POTOMAC. four high schools in the city: gaithersburg, watkins mill, marguder and quince orchard. gaithersburg is ghetto and basically an immigration officer's wet dream, some very wealthy people that live about an hour away in laytonsville also attend (retarded boundry lines), watkins mill is full of semi-wealthy yet trashy white people (especially around neelsville) and really ghetto black people, quince orchard's full of rich white and even richer minorities who SWEAR they live in north potomac and darnestown, when really they live in gaithersburg and rockville. finally magruder is full of gays in plays, and really hardcore druggies and crack whores (thankfully most of them live in rockville too) but is actually the most normal of all nearby schools in terms of academics and athletics.
bethesda guy: where do you live?
gburg dude: gaithersburg
bethesda guy: fuck dude, sorry.
gburg dude: it's ok, at least i don't live in germantown or....cringe... frederick.
