Secondly Northeron could be a term shortened from '''North'''ern Lorda'''eron''', though one must keep in mind the term "Northern Lordaeron" is based completely on conjecture and not an official term. And thirdly, both the orography, climate and vegetation of Northeron may be easily found an an area in the north of Lordaeron, in fact, the birth of a river as mighty as the [[Thondroril River]] logically should be located in a mountainous region, and Northeron is characterized by having mountainous regions inside his territory. |

| Classification | Small Fey |
| Homeworld | Azeroth |

A small type of fey, grell are similar in appearance to imps, but are generally larger in size, lack the characteristic horns, and are not devils. Grell come in both melee and spell caster variants. They are common to Shadowglen and Fel Rock in Teldrassil and Bashal'Aran in Darkshore.
This small, skipping creature looks a bit like a thin, gangly, orange goblin. Large ears spread from its bald head. Its pupil-less yellow eyes stare as it raises a clawed paw. Grell are small, playful creatures that can be encountered in wild areas. They are not particularly dangerous individually, but in gangs they can pose a threat to outlying night elf and furbolg communities; they may be small and unimpressive, but their claws are sharp. Scattered groups of them are actively malicious. Some grell wear earrings, which scholars believe may possess magical traits. Grell are fond of hyacinth mushrooms. Combat Grell are not particularly hostile; generally, they are content to leave potential dangers alone. If an opponent attacks, however, they defend themselves fiercely. Grell in a gang feel no particular connection to each other, it seems, and are as likely to assist their comrade as to watch the combat idly.[1]

- If you compare pictures, you might notice that grell look like a type of wild, deformed goblin.
