Grimace

Grimace is one of the two moons over the Kingdom of Loathing. Grimace completes its revolution once every two KoL months.

The LAAAAME Observatory

You used to be able to watch Grimace from The LAAAAME Observatory:

One of the astronomers nods, smiling. "I see you've found Grimace, one of our two moons. Due to its influence on magical energy, ancient scholars called it Magicus Gluteus, or 'The Wizard's Moon'. They also predicted that some sort of terrible catastrophe would befall it..." He turns to look at a calendar. "Well, any day now, actually. But naturally that's a load of rubbish. What could possibly happen?"

And this is what Grimace looks like:

Phase 0	Phase 1	Phase 2	Phase 3	Phase 4	Phase 5	Phase 6	Phase 7

Notes

• Grimace was first observed by Antipode (#306464) on May 15, 2006 1:35 AM.
• Upon being hit by the comet, Grimace appears now to have a huge crater in it. However, the change in appearance that this has affected is ambiguous thanks to said comet having hit The LAAAAME Observatory, leaving only The Remains of A Comet and an Observatory which makes it impossible to observe the appearance of Grimace. Another piece of the comet came down on Desert Beach and formed The Grim Grimacite Site. An uncanny sequence of events.

References

• The moons, Ronald and Grimace, share the same names as Ronald McDonald and Grimace, two of the mascots of the McDonald's fast-food restaurant chain.
• Gluteus is part of the Latin name for one of the muscles in the buttock, Gluteus Maximus. "To moon" as a verb is to take down one's trousers and expose the buttocks, appropriately enough.
• The astronomer in the observatory speaks of Grimace's "influence on magical energy". When Grimace is full however, HP gains, not MP gains, are doubled (see also: Stat Days).
