Quotes

• "A dash of Moonstone, a pinch of... H...How did you...Who are you!? You're not supposed to be here!" — Groat, or Dread Velvet? Hmmm. Stage 1 of fight, cutscene.
• "What are you doing? My Cakes! My pretty cakes! Unacceptable!" — Groat, or Dread Velvet? Hmmm. Stage 2 of fight, cutscene.
• Dread Velvet speaks: Guuurgle! Such strength! You shall be consumed and your power added to my own! Stage 3 of fight, final, cutscene.
• "You... I... What was that? Did you say something?" You reply: Biscotti asked me to come check on you. Groat: Oh no! Tell her the cakes will be ready. Erm, I'm just a little behind. I'll make you a deal: I'll give you some extra cake if we can keep this between you and me. I don't want to be kicked out of the party. - Speaking to Groat at End of Mission.

Visual Appearance

Groat looks a little dazed.

Groat looks a little...strange.

It seems Dread Velvet is the source of this trouble.

Groat is an average-sized gremlin who normally has blue goggle-ish eyes, except when possessed by Dread Velvet. When Groat is possessed, he is aggressive, with glowing red eyes and a hunched over body. Dread Velvet sits on top of Groat's head, seeming to control Groat. Groat will attack the player in this state, after sending waves of various creep cakes, rocket puppies, and silk wings at the player.

Story

We've been receiving reports that Groat, a local Emberlight Chef, has been acting...strange. It seems that Biscotti comissioned him to do some baking on her behalf but the responsibility may have gone to his head. He disappeared into the clockworks soon after Biscotti delivered the last crate of batter. With the Anniversary celebrations at stake once again, Biscotti needs some culinary champions to help her sort out this mix-up! Check on Groat the Gremlin Chef.

• Besides this mission statement, there's not much history on Groat.
• After Dread Velvet is defeated, Groat turns out to be a nice little Gremlin after all.

Trivia

• Groat has red Prismatic Glow Eyes when possessed by Dread Velvet.
• Groat's frying pan is, so far, a unique weapon.
