The Book of Shadow Grappler

The Book of Shadow Grappler
Bangerang Wave 1 - Darkness Falling - Servants of Lolth

The figure used for this unit is Grappler from Dungeon Crawler: Set 1 From the Depths

GRAPPLE
All small or medium opponent’s figures that enter or occupy a space adjacent to any Shadow Grappler may not move. Figures affected by Grapple cannot be moved by any special power on an Army Card or Glyph. 

SHADOW MOVEMENT

Instead of moving normally with a Shadow Grappler, you may immediately place it on any empty space that is within 6 spaces of that Shadow Grappler and is no higher than 1 level above that Shadow Grappler’s height or 3 levels below that Shadow Grappler’s base. If a Shadow Grappler is engaged when it starts its Shadow Movement, it will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

-Rulings and Clarifications- 
GRAPPLE : Shadow Grappler Movement Using Grapple   
Are Shadow Grapplers also stuck in the engagement because of Grapple?
No. Grapple only affects figures that are engaged to a Shadow Grappler. Once any opponent's figures enter a space adjacent to a Shadow Grappler, they cannot move. That includes movements around the Shadow Grappler while still staying engaged. However, a Shadow Grappler can leave the engagement if they choose to. On a side note; if 2 opposing sides both have figures with Grapple, they would lock each other down. (adapted from the Hasbro FAQ discussion on the Gladiatron's Cyberclaw).

GRAPPLE : Units With Disengage and Ghost Walk
Is a character with Ghost Walk or Disengage also affected by Grapple?Yes. As soon as they pass onto a space adjacent to a Shadow Grappler, they are locked into the engagement. No special power on an army card or glyph can get them out of the engagement. (Hasbro FAQ)
