**Grogu** was a male Force-sensitive Mandalorian foundling that belonged to the same species as Jedi Grand Master Yoda and Jedi Master Yaddle. He was born around 41 BBY during the Age of the Galactic Republic and lived in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where he began training under the guidance of several Jedi Masters. Following the Clone Wars and subsequent Great Jedi Purge, he was hidden away by a Jedi Master and learned to conceal his powers.

During the New Republic Era, Grogu was held at an encampment run by Nikto mercenaries on Arvala-7. Still an infant at the age of fifty years old, he was sought by an Imperial who contracted a Mandalorian bounty hunter named Din Djarin to retrieve him. However, Djarin chose not to abandon Grogu with the Imperials and rescued him from the Imperial remnant facility. His guardianship consequently accorded to Djarin under Mandalorian Creed, Grogu accompanied the bounty hunter in his quest to return the foundling to the Jedi.

## **Personality and traits**

Grogu was a male alien who belonged to the same species as Jedi Grand Master Yoda. Although he was fifty standard years old when Din Djarin found him, Grogu had the appearance and behavior of a toddler. At that time, he was a wide-eyed youngling who stood 0.34 meters tall. He also had white hair, brown eyes, and green skin. Grogu's diet was influenced by his taste for a variety of meals, including living creatures. In his time with Djarin, Grogu devoured frogs, unfertilized frog eggs, a spider egg, a creature with tentacles, and cookies.

Grogu formed an attachment to Djarin, who became a father figure to him. After Grogu was hidden following the rise of the Empire he felt lost and alone for some time, becoming fearful of using the Force. Though Grogu survived by concealing his powers, he occasionally utilized his connection to the Force to obtain what he wanted, whether it was food or the control knob from the *Razor Crest*. He was also willing to use the Force to protect his Mandalorian caretaker.

## **Powers and abilities**

Grogu was able to harness the mystical energies of the Force on account of being Force-sensitive. One notable display of his power was when he telekinetically lifted a giant mudhorn into the air for a brief time to save Din Djarin from the charging beast. However, performing this feat was very strenuous for Grogu as he subsequently fell unconscious for several hours afterward. He could also use the Force when he became angry, such as when he telekinetically strangled Carasynthia Dune because he believed she was harming Djarin while they were arm-wrestling. He later revealed the ability to heal serious injuries and even cure poisoning by touching the injury and then using the Force, though the act, much like levitating the mudhorn, was incredibly draining. In another notable display of telekinesis, Grogu created a strong barrier using the Force to protect his companions by both blocking and redirecting a stream of fire from an attacking Incinerator trooper.

As a result of his training while during his early years in the Jedi Temple, Grogu had some measure of skill in his use of the Force, He could also manipulate small, nearby objects with ease, such as pulling cookies towards himself or unscrewing a knob from the *Razor Crest's* controls.
