Grotis is one of the most powerful entities in all of Smearth. Even as a lower end paragon character he was able to defeat a powerful mind flayer on his own. He was once a powerful agent of good, but this time came to an end when he was incarcerated by the Dire Fiend for a crime he didn't commit. His arm was ripped off in a struggle with the guards and soon after he lost his eye in a prison fight. It was only through his sheer mental fortitude that the Illithid running the prison could not read his mind, and subsequently thought he was " up to something", and took him away. Nobody knows what happened next, only that the mind flayer was found dead with Grotis next to the body. Grotis the Gnome, identical twin brother to Otis the dwarf, now wanders the land in search of a new arm, his arrival heralded by tumbleweeds. 

In truth, Grotis is merely a doll used by the druid Adrik while in wolf form to trick people into thinking the doll was talking while using ventriloquism to make it seem the wolf was speaking. The doll came with a shillelagh in his hand, and when the party was captured by the Dire Fiend's forces, they believed the ridiculous ploy and tried to take Grotis' weapon from him, and ended up pulling his arm off. The guard then ran screaming as Grotis only smiled, and he "hadn't signed up for this". The mind flayer that Grotis defeated, was under the impression Grotis was a powerful character with a mind block spell even though he was really only a freaking doll, and when he took him away to eat his brains, only ate stuffing, and choked to death on it. His last thoughts as he died was "How could I be so stupid, 'cough' 'cough'.
