Grom is an annual event held at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics on the night Grometheus the Fear Bringer attempts to escape from under the school and terrorize the Boiling Isles.
Description
Once a year, Grometheus attempts to break out the Hexside and terrorize the land. Principal Bump holds a party to commemorate the event and selects a Grom Monarch to fight the monster and keep it at bay for the following year.
Background
In Hexside's most recent Grom, Amity Blight is selected as Grom Queen, much to her displeasure. After learning the only way to get out of the role is to have someone take her place, Luz Noceda agrees to do so. After training for a day, Luz takes on Grometheus. She does well, until Grometheus takes the form of her mother, causing her to flee the monster in fear.
After being chased to a cliff, Grometheus prepares to attack, but Amity jumps in front of the monster. Grometheus then takes the form of Amity's fear, revealing she is afraid of being rejected (by Luz, although Luz is ultimately unaware of this). Luz offers to dance with Amity, and together, the two defeat Grometheus. A large tree grows at the site of the battle.
During the four year period following Belos' demise, the Hexsquad attended Grom with Vee joining them. It's implied Willow and Hunter went as a date.
