A grue is a fictional monster in computer gaming, first introduced in the Zork trilogy. The name originated from "gruesome."
Origin
Grues are first mentioned in Zork when a player moves into a dark area without a light source:
You have moved into a dark place. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
