The Real Grim Reaper Is a Midget

Conker's Bad Fur Day Grim

is based on the Real Grim Reaper/Death.

If we take a closer look at it's shadow we see it's hands are bone.

Notice: It does not have that Scythe/weapon.
It can also levitates and is the size of a pillowcase.

FYI.

Reaper attacks even on the most sunniest days.
