Dear Laura,
I am a Grendel with a mate and my own family. I've helped save my world from the vicious tyrant Hand, so my kind no longer has to live in fear. However, I miss the days when I could walk into the Norn Terrarium and send them running. Every day it's stop the kids from falling into the piranha pond, or fix the food dispenser, or give a cheese basket to this Norn... I just want to feel like a real Grendel again. Recently, an Ettin, with a highly extensive knowledge of CAOS, offered to give me a day as a vicious Grendel, in exchange for a day in my life. It seems like the perfect deal, exchanging some boring day from my past for a day when I was feared, for a day when I can terrify all the Norns, Ettins and Hands of the world. Should I take it?

Dear Graaaah,
At the end of the day, you should do what makes you feel happy and comfortable in your scales. It?s good to be helpful and caring towards your neighbours, but you should think of yourself too. However, I wouldn?t be too trusting, or enter any agreement blindly. It may all be too good to be true, and who knows what mayhem this Ettin?s magic can evoke. I suggest that you ask for a written statement, detailing exactly what it asks for in return, and read the contract very, very carefully. You don?t want to risk paying for a day of being a real chest thumping, butt scratching, flatulent Grendel, and lose the civilised personality that makes you so unique. Nor would you want to end up losing your first born, or any other particularly nasty catch, would you? If movies have taught me anything, it?s that there?s always a catch in the deal somewhere!
