This spell is cast on a grue, usually imprisoned nearby, and also on the special focus of the spell - which may be any physical object the mage chooses.
If the item imprisoning the grue is a weapon then it gains +5 to hit for each +20 to hit, (or missile or bow as appropriate) that the elemental had and +1 damage for each +4 damage bonus the elemental had.
While the container is closed the grue perceives the passage of time at a very low rate, returning to normal when the container is opened.

In former days it was believed that all grues were eradicated from the face of the world during the time of Entharion, many by his own hand, and his legendary blade Grueslayer.
It is now known that uncountable hordes of grues escaped the blade of Entharion and lurked in the bottomless pits of the underground, until they were accidentally released in 883 by a peasant who would eventually become the first Dungeon Master.
An interesting historical footnote concerning grues is the fact that one grue lair was, for many eons, the resting place of one of the Cubes of Foundation.

 Grue - Uncyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Grues are not often seen roaming the wilderness in herds, whistling old-time Irish pub songs, working on crossword puzzles, and calculating the amount of back taxes owed by car salesmen.
Grues can be found in all the dark places of the world; your mom's cookie jar, for example.
Auld Grues or Old Grues, were chivalrous and sword-wielding knights, who would (unlike today's Grues) offer mercy and be courteous as the victim was eaten, usually offering a quick and painless death as opposed to fiery fangs and searing pains ripping through the enemy's body.

In philosophy, there is a mischievous definition of grue that says an object is grue if it is first observed as blue before a certain date or if it is first observed as green on or after that date.

 Grue (monster) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grues make an appearance in the Dungeons and Dragons RPG, appearing as a species of intelligent, evil elementals from the Inner Planes, presented as an alternative to the usual neutral, nonsentient summonable elementals of DandD.

In the webcomic Megatokyo, a Grue is mentioned as eating the toes of the character Largo, who, at the time, is buried under a pile of garbage, and complains of fumes and darkness.

When Lord Byron, the agent of ancient Angela who was assigning to Sir Uncyclopedia the four trials, found out that it was Sir Uncyclopedia's nephew who had handed him the Uncyclo-Bombs, he declared that the labour had not been completed alone and as a result did not count towards the four labours set for him.

A grue (Monsteromicius ravenousi) is a box-shaped gap-toothed mammal known for eating discarded detergent bottles and humans, though more recently they have been known to kill certain lone wolves, construction workers, a gerbil or two, the occasional monkey, people who send annoying chain e-mails, your pets, and...well, Grues like eating a lot of things.

Grues possess very strong infravision, being able to see up to 120' in the dark, as well as well-developed senses of smell and hearing.

And one thing that makes these variants possible is that Angband loads nearly all of its monster and item information out of easy-to-edit info files (I'm defining an "info" file here as a text file used to configure the actual game-play aspects of the game, not the user interface).
Now you might worry about players being able to read all the vulnaribilities of the monsters and the powers of items, but this is very easy to hide -- simply invert your text file (turn the 0's into 1's and vice-versa) before giving out your compiled version.
And if you have second thoughts because you want the whole game to be in one single application file, don't even worry: just about every OS has a way to package your text data into a "resource" in your application file (Windows and Mac certainly allow this).

This is low-budget monster mayhem at its best (and in many scenes, utterly hilarious, at least for those with a sick sense of humor, such as myself).
The basic plotline revolves around goo-filled meteors falling to Earth which infect the first living organism unfortunate enough to come into contact with the glowing, intergalactic slime contained within, which transforms the "host" into a monstrous, human-munching beast.
The acting is remarkably well-done for a no-name cast (at least to many viewers) and the cinematography is admirable.

But The Monster Show succeeds where others have lain gutshot and gutterbound, by dint of Skal's obvious and overwhelming passion for the genre.

 Currents in Electronic Literacy (Spring 1999): "Interactive Fiction vs. the Pause That Distresses"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In this relatively easy interactive novel, the main character eventually finds himself in the lair of a dangerous, light-hating monster known as a grue, as he searches for, among other things, grue's milk.
Unfortunately, though, because of the light, the baby grue wakes up and howls like "the screeching of a subway," summoning a horrible monster with "a calico apron and slavering fangs," which promptly dispatches the protagonist.
They may move to, "How can we kill the baby grue in order to get the grue's milk safely?" but since there are no weapons in the story, this formulation doesn't help much.

 Games - Grue
The first mention of grues in the Zork games is the following ominous sentence:
quickly invented the concept of a wandering, light-fearing monster that would be a plausible replacement for the immobile bottomless pits, and, taking the name from Vance's work as having the right connotations, introduced grues in the next version of Zork.
Grues have featured in each of the Zork games and many other of Infocom's games, becoming a company trademark or in-joke, often referred to with the stock phrases of "slavering fangs", "razor-sharp claws" and "horrible gurgling noises".
