Character Description

Grogu is a young child, already 50 years old, which is still considered very young for his species. Though he does not speak, he understands his surroundings and forms deep emotional bonds, particularly with Din Djarin, the Mandalorian who becomes his protector.

Gifted with remarkable Force abilities, Grogu can defend himself, heal injuries, and immobilize enemies. However, using the Force drains him quickly, often leaving him needing a long nap after each effort.

Today, Grogu has become a true pop culture icon, featured in merchandise, collectibles, and video games, continuing to expand the Star Wars universe with his captivating adventures.
