History:
(Nova II#15 (fb) - BTS) - At some point Grot joined the Star-Corps, serving under Queen Adora.

(Nova II#15) - Alongside Muraitak, Grot accepted Queen Adora's mission to travel to Earth to retrieve Nova (Rich Rider) to help stop the mad Luphomoid Kraa, who was slaughtering all things associated with Xandar. After Muraitak used gas to knock Rider out, Muraitak and Grot then grabbed Nova and took him through a stargate towards the site where a previous Star-Corps squad had headed to confront Kraa. They found a badly damaged Nova-Ship which contained Tas'wzta, a Corpsman who had been badly injured in a recent battle against Kraa. Recovering, Nova told the others it was not his fight and prepared to head back home. Muratak told Nova they would fight to the death to force him to stay, but Tas'wzta told Nova that his world could be the next to fall before Kraa.
    Just then Kraa attacked the Nova-Ship. Muraitak helped Nova locate the Nova-Ship's main power core for its weapon systems, disconnect it, and hook it up to a matter-conversion chamber, after which Nova fired a blast that damaged Kraa's death-ship, though the Nova-Ship was destroyed in the resulting explosion. Nova grabbed Grot, who appeared to be the only survivor of the explosion and prepared to follow Kraa's ship to the nearby planet.

(Nova II#16) - Now recovered, Grot accompanied Nova down to the planet, which they scoured for evidence of Kraa. However, Kraa ambushed them, and the barrage from his energy weapons apparently slew Grot. Nova continued the struggle, ultimately defeating Kraa with aid from a distraction provided by Muraitak, who had also managed to survive the Nova-Ship's explosion.

Comments: Created by Chris Marrian, Mike Harris, and Mark Stegbauer.

    I'm not sure what alien race Grot is supposed to be from. He looks like a cross between a Kronan and a Taurian.
