'''Uncle Grimmly, Hermit of the Darkness''' (Japanese: ヤミノフ ''Yaminofu''), is a fourty-five year old [[Portrait Ghost]] that loves [[mirrors]]. In fact, he spends all his time in front of mirrors practicing (what he considers to be) scary poses. Although Uncle Grimmly likes to think he is frightening, his ability to spook is actually sub-par compared to almost all other ghosts (even minor ones). Uncle Grimmly appeared in the game ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.

The only thing Uncle Grimmly loves more than mirrors is darkness. He will only appear when an area becomes pitch black, which is exactly what happens when lightning struck [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]] after [[Luigi]] defeats [[Boolossus]] and unseals the door to the fourth and final area. The lightning strike causes the circuit breakers to blow out, creating a blackout throughout the entire mansion. In these dark and eerie conditions, the ghosts come out in force, and there are too many for Luigi to handle. Even the solitary Uncle Grimmly comes out of hiding. As such, Luigi needs to restore power to the mansion to put the ghouls back into hiding. To do this, the green-clad [[plumber]] has to reactivate the circuit breakers in the [[Breaker Room]], located in the mansion's basement. Uncle Grimmly locks the door to the Breaker Room with a [[key]] to keep Luigi's Mansion in perpetual darkness. Thus Luigi has to locate Grimmly before he can restore light to the dark mansion.

Grimmly locks the door of the previously accessible [[Breaker Room]], preventing Luigi from reactivating the breakers and restoring power to the mansion.

Luigi receives a phone call from [[Professor E. Gadd]] following the lightning strike. E. Gadd informs Luigi that Uncle Grimmly prefers to reside in rooms with mirrors. As such, Luigi investigates the many rooms with mirrors in the mansion (searching for three hidden [[Speedy Spirit]]s along the way), eventually stumbling across Grimmly in the [[Wardrobe Room]] on the second floor. Once there, Luigi discovers Uncle Grimmly hovering in front of a mirror. The portrait ghost tries to scare Luigi by pathetically lifting up his hands and meekly wailing, but even Luigi is not scared. At this time, the plumber activated his flashlight, stunning Grimmly as he attempted to scare the plumber. Luigi then turns on his [[Poltergust 3000]] and begins pulling the portrait ghost into the contraption. Uncle Grimmly does not even put up much of a fight. After a few weak pulls on Grimmly's part, Luigi manages to suck up the portrait ghost and acquire the key to the breaker room. After the lights ware reactivated, the many ghosts that were previously having a field day in the pitch black mansion went back into hiding, allowing Luigi to continue his journey.
