Uncle Grimmly, Hermit of the Darkness, is a forty-five-year-old portrait ghost in Luigi's Mansion and 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 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.
