The Grinch is a green-skinned, feline-like creature who resides in a cave high atop Mount Crumpet in Whoville. He is known for his hatred of Christmas and his attempts to ruin the holiday for the Whos. The Grinch's misdeeds and his quest for redemption have been immortalized in the classic Dr. Seuss book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and the subsequent animated and live-action adaptations.
