~ Grigon's redemption, finally accepting his son Glordon for who he is.
Lord Commander Grigon is the main antagonist of Pixar's 29th full-length animated film Elio.
He is the warmongering and wrathful ruler of Hylurg and the father of Glordon, who wants his son to become a great commander like him. He desperately wants to become part of the Communiverse, and swears vengeance on them when he's rejected.
Grigon prefers to keep an uptight posture within his build as he must maintain his public image both to his subjects and the Communiverse. He sports an armored torso built of a steel-like material, with two glowing stripes (presumably resembling eyes or possibly the ensign of his people), and has two armored gauntlets with further glowing accents. Underneath his muscular physique are four legs armored with heavy plating at the hooves/feet with the exception of the joints, which are only mildly reinforced. His helmet has a grey plastic-like visor with a visage for each of his four eyes, and his chest armor is also reinforced with medium plating.
Without his carapace, Grigon is a small, caterpillar/tardigrade like creature. He has no visible eyes and has two nubs on his head for ears. He has a large mouth with several rows of sharp teeth. His skin is mostly an off-white with purple spots.
Biography[]
Past[]
Grigon's past is mostly unknown, though it can be implied that he conquered many planets in the past. At some point, he married and had a child named Glordon, whom he would try to mold into a warlord like him, despite Glordon's reluctantness.
Elio[]
Grigon would first be seen ordering the Communiverse to allow him membership, threatening to kill them if they did not comply. Elio traveled to Grigon's ship to negotiate with Grigon, but he was imprisoned after insulting Grigon's parenting skills. Grigon prepared to destroy the Communiverse, but he was forced to surrender after discovering Elio had kidnapped his son.
As a demonstratin of the Hylurgian Empire's might, Grigon wanted Glordon to don his carapace in front of the Communiverse. However, upon realizing that Glordon was replaced by a clone, he broke off his deal to surrender. After failing to find Glordon, as he had accidentally sent himself to Earth, Grigon ordered his army to execute everyone in the Communiverse.
Within hours, Grigon's forces captured everyone in the Communiverse. Fortunately for everyone involved, Elio returned with Glordon, though he was on the brink of death due to the colder environment. Grigon ripped himself out of his carapace to swaddle Glordon with his silk. After seeing how Elio saved his son, Grigon left the Communiverse alone, and it's implied he gave up his conquering ways.

Trivia[]
Grigon is be the fourth Pixar character to be voiced by Brad Garrett, the other three were Dim in A Bug's Life, Bloat in Finding Nemo, and Auguste Gusteau in Ratatouille. However, he is Garrett's first villainous role in a Pixar film.
Grigon is a foil to both Elio and Olga.
Both Grigon and Elio desperately wanted to fit in with a group that didn't want them. Elio wanted to be accepted into society but was shunned for believing in aliens, while Grigon was denied entry to the Communiverse for his destructive tendencies.
Both Grigon and Olga were the guardians of a child whom they desperately wanted to change. Olga wanted her nephew Elio to be more "normal" while Grigon wanted to make his son Glordon a warlord. In the end, both learn to accept their children for who they are.
Grigon is the fourth main antagonist of a Pixar movie to redeem himself after Mor'du in Brave, Gabby Gabby in Toy Story 4, and Anxiety in Inside Out 2.
Grigon mentions being the "Scourge of the Crab Nebula," indicate that may be where his home planet is and/or where the Communiverse is located.
The joke in the trailer about Grigon eating his mother the moment he was born was likely inspired by a similar joke in Moana where Tamatoa confesses that he ate his grandmother.
Although unlike Tamatoa, Grigon regrets eating his mother at birth.
His name was originally supposed to be Ambassador Grigon before it was changed to Lord Grigon. The exact reason is unknown, but its possible Grigon was originally planned to be an ambassador, as he was shown as part of the Communiverse in the initial teaser trailer.
Grigon's name remained unchanged in the Latin American McDonalds promotion and on the Happy Meal boxes.
Additionally, there is also another name for him, General Grigon has been trademarked, even though it is unclear if this name would be actually used.
He is the second Pixar main antagonist with a decapod-like design. The first was Henry J. Waternoose III. Coincidentally, both of them are fathers of those who are less evil than them (though, in Waternoose's case, he is Roger Rogers' disowned dad).
As the first teaser of the film shows before major changes to the plot were made, Grigon was originally already a member of the Communiverse (named here The United Advanced Species of the Universe) unlike in the final version where they reject him out of fear. He also seemed calmer and much friendlier towards Elio, suggesting he was not the main antagonist in this version of the film.
