Carl gets a gauntlet that can summon Grull if he punches the god's adherents.
Source: Book 1, ch. 25 Carl deliberately summons Grull through mantaur vessels and throws him at a giant mimic in the trainyard. Grull, piloted by the Maestro, kills the mimic and chases Carl before Carl ejects him through a portal with a second summoning.

Carl is unexpectedly named friend of the church to Grull, which makes no sense to him.
Source: Book 7, ch. 57 - Book 8 A Parade of Horribles
On the tenth floor Grull appears to smite the former mantaur Corcunda and attacks Carl's group. Donut's Laundry Day spell ejects the Maestro, and Grull, now acting on his own, leaves after Corcunda dies a warrior's death.
