Grimora
Grimora is the scrybe of the dead. Act I locks her in the safe as a stinkbug. Act II’s crypt fight uses a bonehound, a sarcophagus, and a banshee, then a second phase that turns your board into 0/1 cards and returns them to your hand. In the finale she is the first boss and the fight is deleted almost immediately once the royal mask is involved.
Record
Boss strategy: remove the Bonehound before Sarcophagus/Banshee land; in the Finale the boss is cut short by the deletion.
Found in Grimora's Crypt in Act II; returns in the Finale.

Reading
“How tall is Grimora?” has no official number. I am not estimating from a sprite. The cell is empty. “Grimora old_data collector” mixes two nouns. OLD_DATA is the zip you unpack in the finale, not a binder she carries. The ARG page is where that zip belongs. Her mod, the Grimora campaign on Thunderstore, is a fan campaign with its own page and is not this boss fight.
If you are in the crypt and the second phase just bounced your board, that 0/1 return is the phase, not a glitch. Rebuild from bones. She is also the reason a bones deck feels at home in Act II: the region spends the resource her cards already used.
FAQ
How tall is Grimora?
No official height is published. I am not estimating.
Does Grimora collect OLD_DATA?
No. OLD_DATA is a finale archive, not her inventory.
