Jamburglar

Nana needs your wizard’s help. The Jamburglar is trying to hoard all of Nana’s Old Fashioned Karamelle Delights. She asks you to go defeat the nefarious villain.

“Mine, mine, mine! All the gummies will be mine! And then you’ll steal all the treats, all the Delights! And all that will remain is rubble… rubble. Who are you? A Wizard? That’s not a Gummy. Prepare to be vanquished!” – Jamburglar

Victory is yours, oh heroic Valued Customer. Nana plans to improve this attraction in the future by adding a shake stealing, purple monster called, The Raisin. This entire encounter is contained in the quest Robber, Robber.

The Hamburglar is a McDonaldland character who features in McDonald’s commercials. He is a close friend of Ronald McDonald, Grimace, and Birdie. Even though he has always attempted (and failed) to hoard all the hamburgers in McDonaldland for himself, he has always been looked upon as a valued member of the McDonaldland community.

The Hamburglar

A pint-sized burglar who first appeared in March 1971 and was one of the first villains on the commercials, he was dressed in a black-and-white hooped shirt and pants, a red cape, a wide-brimmed hat, and black gloves. His primary object of theft was hamburgers (sometimes cheeseburgers), hence his name. The character, like Grimace, started out as a villain. Hamburglar spoke in gibberish which was often translated by Captain Crook, the unintelligible muttering sounded like “robble robble.”

Grimace

Grimace is a character featured in McDonaldland commercials. He is Ronald McDonald’s best friend.

Grimace is a large, purple, rotund being of indeterminate species with short arms and legs. He was known for his slow witted yet optimistic demeanor. Grimace sometimes went for long periods of time without speaking; when he does speak he is known for saying “duh” before every sentence. His favorite food is McDonald’s shakes.

McDonaldland is a McDonald’s media franchise and the fictional fantasy world inhabited by Ronald McDonald and his friends. Starting with the creation of Ronald McDonald in 1963.
