Grimjaw was a large male grayling who inhabited the pond of Redwall Abbey. He was the foe of Fermald the Ancient, who desperately wanted to catch and presumably eat him. He was clever enough to continually avoid her fishing attempts. Grimjaw was killed when Fermald dropped one of the Tears of all Oceans into the pond and he swallowed it. The pearl lodged in his throat, and, unable to eat, he died.
Grimjaw had a mate who was fanatically devoted to him, refusing to leave his skeleton even long after his death.
Not to be confused with Groojaw.
