A general and Jedi Hunter, Grievous was a reptile turned cyborg. Except for his split-pupiled eyes, the narrow rings of scaled flesh surrounding them and the hacking cough, it was difficult to tell that he was organic at all. Unburdened by decency in any form, Grievous commanded legions of droids, including a small number of the much cooler IG-100 bodyguard droids that often surrounded his immediate position.
When adequately fortified, Grievous liked to cough, cough, cough and taunt his prey, but he was not above running like a girl when things went south. He was highly proficient at theatrical escapes and dastardly laughter once he was out of harm’s way. His renowned cunning, at least in the movie, seemed to shine the brightest when matters were boiled down to self-preservation. Otherwise, Grievous was warm-hearted, sensitive, and an old fashioned gentleman. In a deleted scene, he had that red-skinned Jedi chick tied up and on her knees, and he ran her through, from behind, with her own lightsaber. This is the kind of behavior that might even make Starscream cringe in distaste.
Victim to the staged accident that required his cybernetic reconstruction, Grievous was equipped with computer functions that allowed him to recognize and counteract attack patterns in his Jedi opponents. These same functions enabled Grievous to modify his own stances and maneuvers accordingly. These abilities ostensibly allowed Grievous to overcome most of his foes even despite the fact that Grievous didn’t have any Force-based attacks of his own. Grievous was able to divide to his two arms into four equally prehensile appendages capable of putting four lightsabers to work at once. Additionally, Grievous was capable of withstanding space vacuum and had magnetized feet that enabled him to cling to a ship’s hull while in space.
All and all, Grievous stands up pretty well to attack---unless you tear open his Durasteel chassis to expose his artificially-sustained internal organs and then fire a blaster pistol like 56 times repetitively into those same exposed organs. This ultra-rare Jedi technique, employed by a desperate Obi-Wan, is the Just-Shoot-The-Guy-Until-He-Burns-And-Completely-Explodes technique, better known as the J.S.T.G.U.H.B.A.C.E., only taught at the most advanced level of training.
