Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The masseter muscle is one of four muscles responsible for chewing.
- Keeping with
Grendel's design being inspired by Oni, the Masseter's design is based on the Kanabō, a studded, two-handed club used by samurai. The cumbersome nature of the kanabō resulted in the weapon being associated with oni due to their great strength.
- The close associations between oni and kanabō in Japanese culture have resulted in the phrase oni-ni-kanabō (鬼に金棒, "[giving a] kanabō to oni") to describe giving further advantages to a powerful opponent, which may be the basis for Grendel's immunity to crowd control effects while preparing a heavy attack with the Masseter.
- When Masseter is used to perform an attack, its rotation will ramp up for a short period of time and eventually slow back to an idle speed.
- Manual guard (holding right-mouse button) will lock Masseter in the idle rotation, regardless of current speed.
