'''Uncle Grimmly, Hermit of the Darkness''', is a forty-five-year-old [[portrait ghost]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo 3DS remake]]. He has pale blue skin, an oval head, small yellow eyes, and jowls. He has a brown coat with two opal buttons, a dark purple necktie and a boutonniere on the left side. Uncle Grimmly loves [[Mirror (object)|mirrors]]. Uncle Grimmly's portrait number in [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s gallery is 20.

Uncle Grimmly appears only during the [[blackout]], and he is the only portrait ghost with this distinction. In an optional phone call in the [[Telephone Room]], Luigi can learn from [[Professor E. Gadd]] that Uncle Grimmly holds the [[key]] to the [[Breaker Room]] and that he prefers to reside in rooms with mirrors; this is meant to hint to the [[Wardrobe Room]], where Uncle Grimmly is found hovering in front of a mirror. Upon seeing Luigi, Uncle Grimmly tries to scare Luigi by lifting up his hand and wailing, leaving him vulnerable to Luigi's flashlight. Once Uncle Grimmly is sucked into the [[Poltergust 3000]], Luigi can obtain the key to the Breaker Room, which had presumably been locked by Uncle Grimmly, and enter it.

Uncle Grimmly is thought to speak in a northern English dialect, since he uses the phrase "by gum" in his heart quote.
