Curse

Have you noticed that in the snowmen lair one of the snowmen before throwing a big snowball says: "Son of Grenth will pay". I thought it is a GW version of "son of a...." - meant for the player who dared to enter a secret lair. So his name seems to be used as a curse by the creatures of ice. If calling someone "son of Grenth" is offending that may say how this god is perceived. So in addition to his nasty appearance mentioned in this thread he has a not good "reputation". I hope what I wrote makes any sense. My apologies for my English.

Actually i think its just part of the whole Dwayna vs Grenth thing. The enemies of the Snowmen are Grenths "forces" afterall. I would guess he doesnt have much of a reputation - death is naturally feared so the God of Death would be feared and possibly respected for his job.

As Free Runner said, that is just the whole Dwayna vs Grenth thing going on.

This is the only thing you are 100% wrong with. Creatures of Ice, well they are made of snow yes, but they are not the same as the other ice elementals we face. They were made out of "joy and cheer" *according to the Dwayna quests during Wintersday* and they serve Dwayna. They naturally hate Grenth and to them, his name would be used as a swear word.

Lastly, I could have swore that they said "Son of a Grentch" *no pun intended*.

Yeah it is infact "Son of a Grentch must pay!". I thought Son of Grenth sounded alittle weird

I just went there again to check. Indeed I misspelled it. It should be "son of a Grentch must pay" as you stated.
