Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Gurral the Smasher is an indie kaiju webcomic written by Richard Mullenhour — aka OgreTusk — and illustrated by Frost Llamzon. It began on September 7, 2015 and has had several completed issues in the years since, including a number of cameos and guest appearances from other members of the kaiju fandom.Created to be the ultimate gladiator by the hedonistic and greedy Arena Lords, Gurral was born weak and defenceless due to a flaw in the genetic experiments that created him. Enslaved and forced to mine impervium — the hardest known mineral in the galaxy, Gurral developed an addiction to the dust and began secretly consuming it. The mineral had a mutagenic effect on his body, causing him to grow into a bulky fifty-meter-tall behemoth and giving him an impervium-infused ossified exoskeleton. When his addiction was discovered, Gurral was sent to the arena but refused to fight, quickly going into withdrawal and being defeated. Not wanting to let such a formidable contender go to waste, the Arena Lords bribed Gurral by offering to pay him in impervium dust should he win his fights. Thus, Gurral became known as the Smasher, fighting other giant monsters for the entertainment of the masses and the satiation of his addiction.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The webcomic can be found here. Gurral has also appeared in the failed Colossal Kaiju Combat! project, the Daikaiju Daikessen: Versus/Rogue indie kaiju game, and Atomic Rex: Challenge of Gurral (2021) and Gurral: Clash with Chimera (2022) — a pair of crossover novel with Atomic Rex. Gurral also encountered Sleipnir Equine Invader From Jupiter in the 2022 crossover Gurral vs. Sleipnir. | |

Addled Addict: Gurral is addicted to Impervium dust, which he either consumes raw or uses as seasoning for his food, and without it he goes into severe agonizing withdrawal. The Arena Lords use this to blackmail him into fighting for them in their gladiator arena, but he later circumvents this by seizing control of the Impervium mine. | |
