Gor / Legends Gor was a male roggwart owned by General Grievous during the Clone Wars . Grievous , who served as the Supreme Commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems ' Droid Army , kept Gor in his castle on the third moon of the planet Vassek . There , Gor acted as both a guard and a pet for the general , and was one of the few creatures Grievous cared for . While the general was away , Gor was tended to by his master ' s medical droid , EV - A4 - D . The droid was responsible for fitting Gor with four cybernetic limbs grafted to his back , and attaching an exoskeleton of armor to the roggwart ' s body . In 22 BBY , the Confederate Head of State , Count Dooku , lured a Jedi - led Republic task force to Grievous ' s castle in an attempt to test the general ' s skills . Grievous ordered Gor to kill the intruders , but the roggwart was slain by Jedi Master Kit Fisto . Biography . Following the defeat of the Bitthævrian s in the Kaleesh – Bitthævrian War , the victorious Kaleesh warlords took roggwarts as trophies from the Bitthævrian homeworld of Guiteica . One such roggwart came into the possession of Confederacy of Independent Systems Supreme Commander General Grievous , who named it " Gor . " During the Clone Wars , Grievous kept Gor within his castle on the third moon of Outer Rim world Vassek . Gor served as a guard alongside Grievous ' s IG - 100 MagnaGuard battle droids , and came to be loved by the general . Despite Grievous ' s affection for his pet , the cyborg understood that Gor ' s abilities as the castle guardian could be enhanced through the use of cybernetics , just as similar technology had improved Grievous ' s abilities . To that end , the general ordered his caretaker and medical droid , EV - A4 - D , to attach four mechanical arms to Gor ' s back , and to graft exoskeletal armor to the beast ' s body . In 22 BBY , Separatist Council member Nute Gunray escaped from Republic captivity while aboard the " Venator " - class Star Destroyer " Tranquility " and fled in a stolen Republic frigate . Intending to reassess Grievous ' s abilities after the general was defeated numerous times in battle , Confederate Head of State Count Dooku sent the frigate ' s tracking beacon to Grievous ' s castle in order to lure Republic forces there . While the general was away from the castle , Dooku remotely deactivated his MagnaGuards , leaving no one to feed Gor . The roggwart was shrieking in hunger by the time Republic forces arrived to search the castle for Gunray . Jedi General Kit Fisto , Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb , and a squad of clone troopers under the command of Clone Commander Fil infiltrated the castle shortly before Grievous returned . Upon his arrival , the general was badly damaged by the Republic and Jedi forces and retreated deep into his castle to be repaired by EV - A4 - D . Before beginning his repairs , Grievous released Gor into the corridors of the castle to hunt down the intruders . The roggwart found Fisto , Vebb , and Fil in one of the castle ' s large rooms and attacked them . Fil fired on Gor several times , but its tough hide and armor rendered the blaster shots ineffective . An aggravated Gor lunged at Fisto , disarming the Nautolan Jedi Master . As the three intruders surrounded Gor , Fil continued to shoot at the roggwart ' s neck . Vebb drove his lightsaber into the creature ' s back , which did little to slow Gor , who quickly bucked Vebb off and grabbed Fil with his prehensile tail , flailing the clone about . Vebb again approached Gor and was again beaten back , this time by the creature ' s tail that held Fil . Fisto , who had regained his lightsaber , sliced at Gor ' s face , causing the roggwart to slam Fil into the ground . Vebb rushed forward again , this time slicing off Gor ' s tail and freeing Fil , who perished from his wounds . Fisto also attacked Gor , who had been distracted by the loss of his tail , slicing off the creature ' s two front limbs . Gor fell to the ground in pain and was quickly killed by Fisto via a lightsaber stab to the throat . When Grievous ' s repairs were completed , the general attempted to see if Gor had finished " playing " with the Jedi , only to discover that Gor had been slain — a revelation that greatly upset the general . Personality and traits . Gor was a male roggwart — a large , predatory , non - sentient beast . At a height of 4 . 5 meters and a weight of 254 kilograms , he had large , sharp teeth and two horns that curved downward from his head . Gor ' s long tail ended in three prehensile graspers that were capable of impaling foes , and his hands and feet both ended in large claws . His muscular body was capable of withstanding blaster shots and enduring modest lightsaber wounds . Additionally , he had a long , gooey projectile tongue . Gor was fitted with a set of battle armor and four large mechanical arms that extended from his back ; the chest plate was included to protect his vital organs , while the helmet was created to protect his brain case . He screeched loudly when hungry . Gor had an aggressive disposition , which was evident during his battle with the Jedi . Given his position as a guard in Grievous ' castle , Gor was likely taken from his brood - nest early in life ; only roggwarts taken at a such a young age were able to be trained as watch - guardians or pets . The general himself was fond of Gor , doting on the roggwart during his time in the castle . Grievous indeed identified with the creature , and eventually noted that Gor would benefit from a cybernetic transformation just as he had earlier in his life . Upon discovering his pet ' s death , Grievous was enraged , and added that offense to an already lengthy list of wrongs the general believed the Jedi Order had committed . Behind the scenes . Gor was created for the 2008 . Gor was first mentioned in " " as the first depiction of the roggwart species . He later made his series debut in the episode " Lair of Grievous . " Gor ' s voice was created from sounds of a lion and a vulture . The spelling of Gor ' s name is disputed by several differing sources . While most sources , including the " Visual Guide " , claim that it is spelled " Gor , " " " spells it as " Gore . " The episode guide also refers to him once as " Gorr . " While " " claims that Gor ' s species originated on Guiteica , the " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " supplement " Galaxy at War " states that they are from Vendaxa instead . In 2010 , Gor ' s homeworld was officially stated to be Guiteica with the release of " " . " " lists Gor ' s height as 4 . 5 meters , while " " lists it as 4 . 65 meters . This article assumes that the former source is correct . Non - canon history . " Star Wars : The Clone Wars : Head - to - Head " presents a non - canon matchup involving Gor , pitting him against the Wookiee warrior Chewbacca . When Chewbacca becomes trapped inside Grievous ' s lair on the third moon of Vassek , Gor blocks his escape . However , Chewbacca confronts him directly , and Gor , being unaccustomed to his prey running toward him , fails to prevent the Wookiee from severing his cybernetic limbs . Chewbacca is thus able to trap Gor in a nerve - pinning headlock , causing the roggwart to fall unconscious .
