Grimslaw Demon

Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRI : Grimslaw Demon

The Crimslaw demon was a fictional monster in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, appearing only once in the episode Selfless.

After being jilted by Xander Harris in season 6, Anya Jenkins got back her old job as a vengeance demon, stirring up chaos by magically granting the wishes of scorned women. One of her "clients" was a student at the University of California, Sunnydale, whose boyfriend invited her to a frat party only to dump her and mock her in front of his friends. In her humiliation, the girl cried out, "Just once I wish you could all feel what it's like to have your hearts ripped out." Hearing this, Anyanka summoned the large, spiderlike Crimslaw demon, which killed the frat boys by eating their hearts.

Willow Rosenberg saw Anya leaving the frat house and noticed blood on her hands. Wondering what had happened, Willow investigated by entering the frat house to find the bodies, a broken window and the girl crying in a cupboard babbling: "I take it back. I take it back." The Crimslaw appeared and attacked Willow, but she easily fended it off. Willow reported the monster to Buffy Summers and Xander Harris, who tracked it to the woods. The Crimslaw ambushed Buffy, inflicting superficial wounds, but she finally killed it with a thrown axe.
