"Gritty" was debuted to young fans at an unveiling ceremony at the Please Touch Museum, where we imagine the children were immediately told not to touch him.
It's hard to rank the things that terrify us about Gritty, but the fact that he appears to have no control over his extremely active eyeballs is chief among them.
As far as we can tell, the Flyers haven't identified what Gritty is, exactly, aside from stating that his "His father was a 'bully' " and he was forced out of his secret hideout by recent construction at the Wells Fargo Center.
