Appearance[]

Grover is described as a tall satyr with curly brown hair, brown eyes, small horns, a wispy beard, and hairy brown goat legs.

As Grover ages, his horns grow out. By the time of The Sea of Monsters, he must wear a baggy hat to pass as human.

Personality[]

Grover is usually cheerful and upbeat, yet he chews on furniture when he is nervous. He cries when he is upset, which makes him an easy target for bullies. He can often be philosophical. He sometimes mopes around a bit though. He has an obsession with coffee (due to feeling the presence of Pan in New Mexico while drinking it), tin cans, and enchiladas. He believes that cheese enchiladas are better than chicken ones. This may be due to the fact he is a vegetarian. He is also an environmentalist. His girlfriend is Juniper, a wood nymph. They deeply care for one another. It is also revealed in The Last Olympian that he has leporiphobia, (which Percy calls his "bunny phobia"). He and Tyson don't seem to get on very well but he is helped to look for Pan by Tyson in The Battle of the Labyrinth. It is mentioned in The Lightning Thief that two of the only songs he knows how to play on his reed pipes are "So Yesterday" by Hilary Duff and Mozart's Concerto No. 12. At the beginning of the series, his reed pipe music is so bad it makes the strawberry plants try to strangle people, but by the end of the series, he can play multiple tunes (which came in handy multiple times). It is said in The Demigod Files that his favorite song to play is Muskrat Love.

Fears[]

Grover is afraid of many things. He is most terrified 0f:

  • Underground places (which smell of death and monsters)
  • Cyclopes (which is why he initially did not get along well with Tyson.)

It was also mentioned that he has leporiphobia (fear of rabbits) and describes them as "big bullies who always steal celery from defenseless satyrs." He is also terrified of Dionysus, Juniper's anger, and ghosts. He cries when he is upset, but it seems that he has grown out of this.

Main Skills and Equipment[]

Satyr Physiology: Being a satyr, Grover has many natural abilities that most other satyrs possess.

  • Goat Legs: He is able to run very fast and climb up mountain edges with ease. However, he is a slow walker when in disguised as a human.
  • Enhanced Smell: Grover has a very strong sense of smell. He is able to tell when monsters, gods, demigods, or other creatures are nearby. This ability does not work underground, as everything smells the same to him there.

Woodland Magic: Grover is very skilled in woodland magic, being able to use it in many ways. This is mostly directed by using his reed pipes.

  • Plant Control: With his magic, he can control plants in a multitude of ways, making them contort and wrap around his enemies. Un The Last Olympian, Grover was even able to make grass grow on the floor of the Olympians' Throne Room.
  • Animal Control: He can control animals to a certain extent.
  • Healing: He can use it for healing purposes.

Zoolingualism: He can talk to animals.

Empathy Link: He is able to make an Empathy Link with others. This is a very difficult and dangerous spell to cast, as it binds the user with the target. He currently has a link with Percy Jackson.

  • Dream Communication: With this, the two beings linked together can talk to each other in dreams, as seen in The Sea of Monsters.
  • Mutual Emotional Insight: They can feel each other's emotions. They can also tell when they are close by. Hence, Percy was able to summon Grover to his side in The Titan's Curse, to help him fight Dr. Thorn. If one dies, the other might die as well. However, they may just go into a vegetative state.

Wilderness Survival: As a satyr, Grover is quite adept for surviving out in the wild. Annabeth remembers a "silly" wilderness survival course that Grover once taught her at camp, which no longer seems so silly and even helps her to reach the Athena Parthenos.

Panic Cry: As seen in The Battle of the Labyrinth, Grover can use Panic to instill fear into enemies, a gift from Pan himself. It creates a horrible fear in you that urges you to flee.

Emotional Insight: Grover is very good at reading other people's emotions.

Satyr's Sanctuary: This is a spell that will protect animals until they find a safe place to live, which he uses on several escaped animals in The Lightning Thief.

Reed Pipes: This is Grover's most used tool. With this, he can channel most of his woodland magic.

  • He can also use his reed pipes to bring things to life, like electrical lines he used to fight Talos.

Tin Cans: Grover's primary physical weapon. Grover uses his tin cans to throw at opponents. Grover likes to eat his tin cans as a snack.

Acorns: When using woodland magic, Grover can use acorns and nuts to sense danger, having the acorns display the people nearby, as well as possible enemies.
