Biography[]
At some point before the events of the series, Stanford Pines and his assistant Fiddleford McGucket came across the Gremloblin in the forest and he studied its strengths, weaknesses, and other features, chronicling them in Journal 3.
The Gremloblin suddently attacked and was able to capture McGucket and forced him to watch his worst nightmare, Ford was later able to defeat the Gremloblin and save McGucket but the encounter left the latter deeply scarred. Determined to return his sanity and eradicate the experience from his mind, he utilized his genius ability to invent a memory erasing gun, permanently relieving him of his nightmares.
McGucket would later become overrelient of this invention and he would even create a secret society based on it, eventually deteriorating his mind and becoming insane.
In the series[]
The monster was somehow captured by Dipper and put as an exhibition at the Mystery Shack in an attempt to show the strange happenings around the town and turn the shack into a more honest attraction than the one Grunkle Stan was managing.
Dipper's plan did not come out like he wanted; the monster's power of making people see their worst nightmare by looking into their eyes sent some tourists into a coma and he and his sister, Mabel had to answer for that. Mabel was also displeased by this because, since she had been put as the boss because of a bet with Stan about who could earn more incomes in three days, she had to give them a refund.
To make matters worse, the monster escaped and began tearing the shack apart and to eat the shack's profits, so Mabel came out to fight it but she was captured. Dipper also came out from hiding to defend his sister and used a mirror for the monster to see his own eyes, after having a vision about him becoming like his own father, he fled the shack.
