Appearance[]
General Grievous has the same appearance as the one in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2003).
Powers and Abilities[]
Grievous's cyborg body gives him enhanced strength, agility and fighting skills. He is skilled with a lightsaber, and is able to carry and wield multiple at once. Grievous can also produce an extra pair of limbs which he also wields lightsabers with. His armour is durable, being able to withstand multiple attacks.
Weaknesses[]
Grievous's throat is damaged and thus can lead to breathing problems. If his chestplate is ripped open his fleshy body will be exposed and make him more vulnerable to attacks.
History[]
General Grievous was a male Kaleesh born on the planet Kalee. He was raised as a warrior and eventually became a terrifying warlord who lead an army. However, during one battle Grievous suffered dangerous injuries. His body was beyond repair until he was found by Vilgax, who managed to give him a cyborg body that gave him the ability to walk and fight again, being built to be stronger and faster than before. Vilgax gave him some weapons that he had claimed as trophies from a conquered planet, lightsabers. Grievous learned to wield these lightsabers well and formed an alliance with Vilgax. With the help of Doctor Psychobos, Vilgax and Grievous constructed a factory to create Grievous some battle droids, robots that would act as his henchmen.
When Vilgax partnered with Albedo to steal Malware and modify him into a suit, Grievous carried out research to find something with the potential to rule the galaxy. He discovered the power stones, ancient gems with extraorinary abilities. After Vilgax failed to defeat Ben in Malgax Attacks, Grievous found him and returned him to his homeworld to recover. Grievous informed Vilgax of the power stones and they went on a search. After Azmuth sent the young galvan Aster to earth to hand over one of the power stones to the plumbers, Grievous tracked him down with his newly created battle droid army an infiltrated his ship. However, Aster got away in an escape pod and landed on the moon. There, Ben and his team helped protect Aster from Grievous's attack, but after watching Ben manage to wipe out most of his army Grievous went to face the alien hero himself. He proved tough for Ben to handle, being able to defeat both Shocksquatch and Kevin. While he did this, his battle droids kidnapped Aster and took him to his ship to get the power stone.
Grievous didn't know Aster had left the power stone on the Rustbucket IV, so he tortured Aster to get him to tell him. Aster refused to cooperate. Then, when Ben attacked as Big Chill, Grievous ordered an attack, which failed. Grievous defeated Big Chill but Ben managed to escape. He found Ben in the room Aster was being held captive in and battled Ben as Four Arms. He gave Four Arms his lightsabers and they had a lightsaber duel, Grievous having the upper hand until Aster distracted him, allowing Four Arms to slice off his limbs. As Ben and Aster left, he told Ben about his alliance with Vilgax in an attempt to scare him. Once Ben left, Grievous's ship was picked up by Vilgax's Chimerian Hammer.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the original General Grievous, who took his lightsabers from jedi he defeated in battle, this version of Grievous was given his lightsabers by Vilgax, who claimed them from a planet he had conquered.
- In terms of strength, Grievous is comparable to Four Arms.
