* LaughablyEvil: His irritability, constant coughing, and general overdramatic speech make him a delight to watch.

* LaughablyEvil: His irritability, constant coughing, and general overdramatic speech make him a delight to watch. That said, he can still be a serious threat to his enemies when they don't stand a chance against him, most notably in "Tales of the Empire" where his massacre against Morgen Elsbeth's mother and fellow Nightsisters is shown from their point of view to be anything BUT funny.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Downplayed as Grievous is never perceived as an unmatched intellectual by any means, but compared to ''Legends'' which mostly focused on Grievous' skill with his lightsaber best seen in [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars The non-canon micro-series]], canon works more explicitly show his military skill as well, while he doesn't win ''every'' battle, he does employ some rather smart tactics and come close to succeeding many times and he does deliver a CurbStompBattle more than a few times.

* BigFishInABigOcean: A lightsaber wielding FullConversionCyborg may be terrifying individual to face as a regular clone trooper, or a Nightsister, but whenever Grievous goes up against seasoned Jedi like Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan, he's often sent on the retreat.

* KarmicDeath: He gets killed by Obi-Wan wielding a E-5 blaster, in a similar vein as killing Nahdar Vebb with a DC-17 hand blaster.

* KarmicDeath: He gets killed by Obi-Wan wielding a E-5 blaster, in a similar vein as killing Nahdar Vebb with a DC-17 hand blaster. On a greater poetic level, Grievous' disrespect of the Force by replacing his organic body for a cybernetic one means that his ultimate fate is to be gunned down by a random and clumsy blaster rather than an honorable lightsaber duel.
