The first time you die in the game Conker is sent to the afterlife, where a gigantic hooded shadow slowly approaches him, speaking in a booming voice and claiming that Conker is dead. However as this imposing figure steps into the light, we discover that he's a short little grim reaper speaking into a megaphone to produce the threatening voice. The megaphone breaks as soon as the reaper becomes visible to Conker, revealing that the little guy has a hilarious squeaky voice. And this is how we are introduced to Rare's version of Death: Gregg the Grim Reaper.
Death has never been this laughable. |
Besides being short (which Conker points out, but is shut up real fast thanks to a snappy reply from Gregg), another standout feature of Gregg is that he hates cats. Multiple times he will go off on a tangent and start talking about why he can't stand them, and later on in the game Conker finds Gregg on a dock, attempting to kill (you guessed it) catfish.
Conker's conversations with Gregg are something that must be experienced, so for your enjoyment here are some videos of these encounters:

That wraps up our quick look at the non-scary grim reaper, Gregg!
