Gor/Legends

Gor was a male Roggwart owned by General Grievous during the Clone Wars. Grievous, who served as the Supreme Commander of the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, kept Gor in his castle on the third moon of the planet Vassek. There, Gor served Grievous as both a guard and a pet, and was one of the few creatures to which Grievous appeared to be attached. Around 22 BBY, 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
"Gor, time to entertain our guests!"

- General Grievous

Gor was the pet Roggwart of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' cyborg Supreme Commander, General Grievous. During the Clone Wars, Gor was kept in Grievous's castle on the third moon of the Outer Rim world of Vassek. The Roggwart served as a guard alongside Grievous's IG-100 MagnaGuard battle droids and was outfitted with battle armor and four mechanical arms that were mounted on its back.

Around 22 BBY, Separatist Council member Nute Gunray escaped from Republic captivity and fled to the Vassek system in a stolen Republic frigate. Gunray left Vassek shortly thereafter, but left the frigate's tracking beacon in Grievous's castle in order to lure Republic forces into a confrontation with the general. The confrontation was a test orchestrated by the Confederate Head of State Count Dooku, in order to reassess Grievous's abilities. 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.

Senior Jedi General Kit Fisto, Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb, and a squad of clone troopers under 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 his medical droid, EV-A4-D. Before beginning his repairs, Grievous released Gor into the corridors of the castle to hunt down the intruders. Gor caught up with Vebb, Fisto, and Fil in one of the castle's large rooms and attacked the three. Fil fired on the Roggwart several times, but its tough hide and armor rendered 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 and Vebb moved to leap onto Gor. The Mon Calamari Jedi drove his lightsaber into the creature's back; however, this 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 tail holding Fil. Fisto, who had regained his lightsaber, sliced at Gor's face, causing the Roggwart to slam Fil into the ground. Vebb rushed forward yet again, this time slicing off Gor's tail and freeing Fil, who perished from his wounds.

Gor, who had been distracted by the loss of his tail, was attacked by Fisto, who amputated the Roggwart'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 cyborg general attempted to see if Gor had finished "playing with the Jedi," only to discover that Gor had been slain&mdash;a revelation which greatly upset the General.

Traits and abilities
"Well that was something."

- A clone trooper upon hearing Gor in Grievous's seemingly empty castle

Gor was a male Roggwart&mdash;a large, predatory, nonsentient beast. He had large, sharp teeth and two horns that curved downwards from his head. Gor's long tail ended in three prehensile graspers and his hands and feet both ended in large claws. His well-muscled body stood in a digitigrade stance and was capable of withstanding blaster shots. Gor was fitted with a set of battle armor and four large mechanical arms that extended from his back.

Gor had an aggressive disposition, which aided him in his position as a guard for Grievous's castle. The general himself appeared to be fond of Gor, seeking him out immediately upon his return to his castle and becoming both saddened and angered at the Roggwart's death. Gor was known to screech loudly when hungry.

Behind the scenes
Gor was created for the 2008 Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. As the first known member of the Roggwart species, Gor was first mentioned in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Visual Guide. Gor later made his series debut in the episode Lair of Grievous.

Fisto's way of maiming and killing Gor in Lair of Grievous is nearly identical to the way Obi-Wan Kenobi kills the Acklay in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
