Grumples

is a Rank B Drain-attribute Yo-kai of the Eerie tribe.

The Yo-kai Medallium bio reads; "Bitter towards youth and beauty, Grumples makes people wrinkly. She was quite the beauty when she was young, though."

Grumples evolves into Everfore when fused with Ageless Powder.

Appearance
Grumples resembles a rather elderly woman with wrinkled skin, suken eyes and only two teeth on her upper mouth. She wears a ragged old cloak, which is patched in some areas, and is accompanied by a green sash. She carries a wooden staff with a ghoulish face in the top.

Personality
Matching her elderly appearance, she behaves like an old woman, in that she has a lot of trouble hearing Nathan's complaints about her powers and showing signs of senility.

Abilities and Powers
Grumples has the ability of shrivel everything she fires at with a beam from her staff. When used on humans or other Yo-kai, she can age them significantly. However, the effect can be undone with just a splash of water.

Yo-kai Watch
Grumples can found in the Gourd Pond Museum at night, or at any time in grass spots everywhere in Breezy Hills. Alternatively, she can be freed from the Crank-a-kai with a Purple Coin.

History
Grumples appears in Episode 69, when she is revealed to be responsible for the shriveling of Nathan's school paper. Nathan complains, to no avail, since Grumples has severe hearing problems, instead using her power to shrivel Nathan's clothing and even aging Nathan and Whisper and forcing them to use the sink to dispel her effects. Hanako-san appears and puts Grumples and the others into a training regime which works to the point that Grumples rejuvenated into Everfore. The female Yo-Kai then gives Nathan her Yo-Kai Medal out of gratitude; however, not too long after that, she sneezed and turns back into Grumples, which accidentally starts firing her beams everywhere which she apologize for accident firing.

Origin
Given that Grumples evolves with the application of face-powder, she might be partially inspired by the oshiroi babaa ("face-powder hag"), a ghostly old woman who serves a god of cosmetics, bringing him sake to warm him in the coldest days of winter, and constantly applies face powder on herself because she's ashamed of her aged, wrinkled features.
