God · from book 1
Grull
The god of war: child of Taranis and Apito, a trueborn heir to the Celestial Ascendency with 'an angry streak as long as a horse's cock', worshipped by donkeys and other equine creatures, and by mantaurs such as Gore-Gore. Level 250, sanctum-tier. Carl's gauntlet starts a summoning by accident on the Iron Tangle and later summons him on purpose through a mantaur vessel; Prince Maestro of the Skull Empire sponsors him and drove him in the Death Challenge.
First appears: B1 ch. 25

By book
Book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
A name on a gauntlet — the Enchanted War Gauntlet of the Exalted Grull, with a 1.5% chance to transfigure an adherent into the deity himself — and Mordecai's insistence that Grull is not a real god: 'There are no gods here. Just those who pay for the privilege' (B1 ch. 25).
Book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
Odette's last warning: the gauntlet can summon the war god against any of his celebrants, and King Rust has just bought a deity sponsorship — 'if I was still a gambler, I'd bet on Grull' (B2 ch. 26).
Book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
Carl's gauntlet sets off a ten-second summoning over Gore-Gore the mantaur, 'adherents of the war god Grull', and Carl kills him before it ends (B3 ch. 11); the Cookbook and Mordecai give the rules of summoning (B3 ch. 32); in the Death Challenge his card reads 'Sponsored by Prince Maestro of the Skull Empire' and names his parents, and he is ejected by a second summoning into a portal (B3 ch. 33).
