Grotto Beasts is a trading card game created by the popular streamer Jerma985, originally conceived as a parody of 90s-era monster-collecting fads like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!. What started as a comedic bit evolved into a fully realized physical TCG with intricate lore, retro-style artwork, and inside jokes from Jerma’s streaming career. The meme usage typically involves fans creating their own 'lost' cards, attributing ridiculous stats to everyday objects, or placing Jerma’s many personas—like the 'Sus Face' or 'Giant Enemy Spider'—into the card templates. It serves as both a nostalgic tribute to the tabletop games of the past and a community-driven expansion of the Jerma985 cinematic universe.
