As stated before, he’s also clearly psychopathic. He’s initially hostile towards Howard for fishing in his pond until he knocks Howard out by showing him his “down-stairs mixup”. Gregg then claims this incident to have been a sign of affection and kidnaps Howard, giving Howard the options between either loving him and staying with him forever, or facing the same fate as a previous person Gregg had kidnapped: to be brutally murdered and then mounted like a fishing trophy. Gregg clearly dislikes and distrusts the great majority of people, only occasionally deciding he likes someone and, once deciding this, hounds them to love and adore him as he does them.
Abilities: Despite Gregg’s inhuman appearance, there are a few abilities he does/could possess that’d be counted as truly unnatural powers. One is the fact that, while living in an underwater cave and thus having air, he can apparently breath underwater without any side-effects. Another possible power he has is superhuman strength, as several of the threats he makes towards Howard would seem to imply this. While this could simply be Old Gregg babbling, the fact that he was able to kill a fairly large fisherman and then set him up on his wall as a trophy would give some legitimacy to this.
One item in particular Gregg possesses is “The Funk”, a semi-sentient alien from outer space that appears to be a large, purple medicine ball with a face and covered in teats. When someone milks the Funk and drinks it’s extract, someone immediately becomes capable of being funky. Considering Gregg gave this as an offer to keep Howard with him, it’s unknown if Gregg had drunk himself of the Funk, but the fact that Howard and Vince drink of it later on and do, indeed, get the power of funk, it would seem Gregg’s story was legitimate.
A last one is his “mangina”. Being a hermaphrodite, Old Gregg possesses both male and female genitalia. Unlike most, however, when he exposes himself, he casts forth a brilliant ray of light that knocks any observers unconscious. ‘ Truly delightful, I know.
