{{main|Lord Grallyx (Birds and Snakes)}} | |||
One version of Grallyx was summoned to [[Jenny Cornelius]]'s [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|home universe]] in the 1960s, but was not apparently native to it, with [[Crowley#In Jenny Cornelius's world|a local demon]] describing him as not being one of “his lot”. This Grallyx was a higher-dimensional being, who crafted his three-dimensional “multi-armed alligator” form, apparently designing it more to be impressive than with practicality in mind. He chose to emerge in [[Slough]], knowing that it was as far as one could get from a place where supernatural happenings would be expected. Going by “the Tenth Lord Grell”, he built up a cult and convinced them to summon him physically. Upon emerging, he killed the summoners, but was trapped in the circle for as long as the candles around it burned. He was all set to simply wait it out, and then conquer the world, but multiple parties managed to get wind of the cult of the Tenth Lord Grell, including the local demon and the [[Intelligence Taskforce]]. The former tried to send [[Aziraphale#In Jenny Cornelius's world|his bookseller friend]] to deal with it, and, failing to find him in time, instead had to send Jenny Cornelius; meanwhile, the Taskforce sent [[Laura Drake (The Folly of Men)|Laura Drake]]. Jenny, calling on her full powers, banished Grallyx before he could free himself, though not before Grallyx breathed gouts of fire at her in an effort to kill her, setting fire to the building around them instead.
