* HateSink: ''Big time''. Grimmel is a malicious and selfish hunter and backstabber who thinks of no one but himself. He is shown to be ruthless and proud of the destruction he causes and he doesn't hesitate to mock Hiccup for his friendship with Toothless and other dragons, shows no remorse after [[spoiler:burning down Berk]], kills dragons just for fun and tries to kill humans who side with dragons. Furthermore, even when he teams up people who have beef with Hiccup, he insults them for their poor progress as well. He doesn't even care about his own Deathgrippers as he sees them only as "dragon killers" instead of actual living beings.

* SmugSnake: Highly functional example. While Grimmel is definitely smart, cunning, and legitimately dangerous, he is far too arrogant for his own good. He looks down on Hiccup despite all his successes, brushing him off as a mere "boy", speaking condescendingly to both enemies and allies, despite the fact that his plans ultimately only succeed because of others' missteps, and even after he catches Toothless, he leaves Hiccup, confident that he is "nothing without his dragon." In the end, Grimmel pays with his life for his overconfidence and arrogance.

* AxCrazy: While not as violent as Drago Bludvist, it's clearly obvious that he's a psychotic and delusional madman who believes himself as a savior of mankind, when in reality, he actually just enjoys being a dragon-killer. There's also the fact he's willing to attack other humans who sympathize and wish to co-exist with dragons.

** He is also this for Toothless, as he wiped his species, leaving only him and mentally scared his mate]].

* ArchEnemy: Grimmel is this for Hiccup, and is arguably his most dangerous and personal foe yet.

* HellBentForLeather: Grimmel appears to be wearing a flight suit made of leather. Justified as he may need it to stay warm while flying.

* InformedAttribute: A common criticism levelled against the film is that, despite intending to show Grimmel as a [[{{Chessmaster}} strategic genius]] who's always a step ahead of everyone else, most of his advantages come from the other characters making mistakes that he has no control or knowledge of.

* TemptingFate: [[spoiler:When Hiccup comes to rescue Toothless from him, he states that Toothless doesn't care for Hiccup anymore now that he has the Light Fury and that coming back for him will lead to the latter's death. He is proven wrong and it leads to his own demise.]]

* WeakButSkilled: Arguably one of, if not, the most physically weakest opponent Hiccup and the Berkians have ever faced. Compared to Snotlout and even Hiccup's more robust builds, Grimmel seems to lack upper body strength, only using it for climbing. However, what he lacks in fighting strength he makes up for with clever ambushes and deception.
