In honor of the holiday season, Binge Gamer's Perry Piekarski pays tribute to Gruntilda the witch. Okay, so while Grunty isn't all that Christmas-y, she's still an epic villain that has more than earned her spot in the Binge Gamer Villain Hall of Fame.

I feel any good villain deserves a good rhyme. Here’s one I made for Gruntilda the witch:

There once was a witch named Gruntilda
who sat high atop a big hill-da.
Tooty’s beauty she’d take
and rhymes she would make,
because she’s an evil, angry witch and isn’t a very nice person at all.

I just wrote that right now. Proud of me?

Anyway, that’s enough of me trying to be poetic, creative, and post-modern with my—er—posts. Let’s just cut to the good stuff.

Gruntilda is a kickass villain; there’s no doubt about that. Not only does she fit into one of the greatest villain cliches OF ALL TIME (witches), she is also the antagonist in one of the greatest video games OF ALL TIME. This mixture alone is sufficient reason for her nomination to the Villain Hall of Fame.
