“	Diabolical!	„
	~ Grawl's catchphrase.

“	Tell us your invasion plans! And don’t bother taking over my mind. If you do, Captain Kisno has orders to shoot me. If you take over Captain Kisno’s mind, Lieutenant Groit has orders to shoot him. If you take over Lieutenant Groit’s mind, Sergeant York will shoot Captain Kisno, Lieutenant Groit, and myself, along with these three soldiers. Each man has a designated target in the squad. Should you succeed in taking over all our minds, Corporal Hisk has orders to electrocute everyone. If this fails, the entire base is rigged to blow… at the touch of a button.	„
	~ General Grawl to Chuck Baker - his most famous quote.

General Grawl, or simply known as Grawl, is the main antagonist of the 2009 computer-animated film Planet 51. He is a high-ranking alien military officer who believes that his planet is under attack from alien invaders (in reality the "alien" is a clueless human astronaut who is no danger to anyone).

He was voiced by Gary Oldman, who also played Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Drexl Spivey in True Romance, Norman Stansfield in Léon: The Professional, Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg in The Fifth Element, Egor Korshunov in Air Force One, Milton Glenn in Murder in the First, Spider Smith/Dr. Zachary Smith in Lost in Space, Ruber in Quest for Camelot, Mason Verger in Hannibal, Rocky in True Crime: Streets of L.A., Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol, Carnegie in The Book of Eli, Daniel Clarke in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Father Solomon in Red Riding Hood, Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2, Nicholas Wyatt in Paranoia, Dreyfus in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Lord Vortech in LEGO Dimensions and Vladislav Dukhovich in The Hitman's Bodyguard.

Physical

He is a green alien wearing a brown suit with a white collar shirt and a black tie with sunglasses, and a gun holster and alien feet.

History

Driven by a fear of the unknown, General Grawl becomes a menace to himself and his men as well as (somewhat ironically) his world as he becomes obsessed with not only capturing the "alien" but in either killing him or having his brain removed.

However, in the end of the film, General Grawl is redeemed when he is rescued from his self-destructing base, making him finally realize that the "alien" was not a threat and also opening his eyes to the fact that blind ignorance and fear is far more dangerous than imaginary threats.

Quotes

“	It's all right, Chief. He's with me. Soldiers, attention! There is among us an astronaut.	„

Planet 51

General Graw’s first appearance.

"Never mind, Captain!"

"The alien is right here?"

(Lem's Dad: "What are you doing in Lem's room?") "I'm afraid your son is a zombie."

"Where's your master?! (bangs on the cage) Talk!"- General Grawl interrogates Rover for Chuck's whereabouts.

"Take us to your leader."

General Grawl and his soldiers follow Rover, so he can guide them to Chuck.

(Captain: "All these uniforms, sir. How do we find the alien?") "Simple, Captain."

"Like us, the alien is in uniform."

"Time to meet the monster, face to face."

General Grawl meets the 'alien', astronaut Chuck Baker.

"Look at it, Professor. It's hideous!"

"And that smell!"

"Alright, let's get these aliens to Base 9!"

"Not that it exists."

"HOLD YOUR FIRE!!"

"Captain, I want the whole base on red alert!"

General Grawl's enraged breakdown is he about to shoot Lem with the gun.
