Grune

ThunderCats | Character

Something Missing?

Grune (a.k.a. Grune the Destroyer) is an anthropomorphic saber-toothed tiger. He was once a Thundercat. He and Jaga were once close friends and allies, but greed and the hunger for power overtook Grune, and he led a group of marauders and waged a war with the ThunderCats. It was in that war when Jaga faced Grune in hand to hand combat. The two fought, and Jaga was the stronger one. He banished Grune from Thundera in what appeared to be a crystal-like container.

Grune found his way to Third Earth and wreaked havoc and despair. It is unknown how long ago this took place on Third Earth as the two Bolkins recited the story, saying it was centuries ago. When Grune died, there was a magical symbol placed on his tomb which prevented his spirit from escaping. When two foolish Bolkins, Hurrick and Bundun, broke the symbol, however, Grune was freed. He swore vengeance on the ThunderCats and Jaga.

He wandered to Fire Rock Mountain to gather what Third Earthlings called "Fire Rocks", which were in reality Thundrainium. He used the Thundranium to forge his Spiked Mace (how he managed to do this when Thundranium affects all Thunderians was never explained). Grune attacked the Cats Lair. The ThunderCats tried to use the Sword of Omens to figure out who he was, but the sword showed nothing. It was this episode that first showed Cheetara using her gift of sixth sense, and she was able to retell his history.

Since the ThunderCats could not fight a ghost, they needed the help of another ghost, Jaga - which was what Grune had wanted the whole time, a rematch. They fought again, but the Thundranium Mace drained the strength of Jaga, weakening him and turning the battle against him. However, as he was losing, Lion-O gave Jaga the Sword of Omens, and then his own strength, allowing Jaga to defeat Grune once again.
