Nergal Junior (or simply Junior) is a fictional character in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Nergal Junior is voiced by Debi Derryberry, who also voices Jimmy Neutron and Zatch Bell.
Nergal Junior is the son of Nergal and Billy's aunt, and thus Billy's half-mutant cousin. He has the power to shapeshift, and most of the time appears in a borrowed form of a small geek (who he apparently "took care of" in the episode Son of Nergal shortly after his first visit to Earth). All of Junior's forms are darker in color than originally, and Junior always has green eyes and glasses no matter what form he's in, as well as pointed teeth. He has an apparently horrific, gruesome true form that is never seen on-screen, although it is seen in Son of Nergal and Substitute Teacher that he has tentacles that sprout from the back of his head much like his father has. His arrival in the series is comically improbable, as he went from egg at the beginning of Son of Nergal to primary school age apparently in days. A possible explanation is that his father is not human, and may have a shorter childhood. As an egg, Junior already wore glasses (but had no eyes), and could talk. Junior has also transformed into a dog (Substitute Teacher) and a pair of magic pants (Runaway Pants). He seems to be smart.
In the Grim Tales From Down Below webcomic, he is the godfather to Grim's daughter.
[edit] Friends
Like his father, he is lonely and can't find friends (as he is a mutant freak). Because of his desperation, he developed evil tendencies and terrorizes everyone who has unliking for him or stand in his way. He doesn't choose ways for getting friends. In Son of Nergal, he tried to become Billy's friend by "taking care" of everyone that Billy liked, and using their bodies. Eventually, Mandy stopped Junior's out-of-control body-snatching by ripping the head off Junior's teddy bear, and only friend, Mr. Bonkers. The teddy bear was never seen again. Although Junior's only actual friend was Mr. Bonkers, he seems rather forgiving and has seemed to have developed a relatively friendly relationship with Billy and Mandy. From then on, he addressed Billy as "cousin."
