Grover Underwood
Wikipedia
A Guide to Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series
Grover Underwood is a satyr and Percy's best friend. He appears in The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth, The Last Olympian, The Son of Neptune, The House of Hades, The Blood of Olympus and The Burning Maze.
He has curly reddish-brown hair and fur, acne, and a wispy goatee. His horns grow larger as the series progresses, and he must take increasingly careful measures to hide them and his goat legs while posing as a human. In The Lightning Thief, Chiron states that Grover is small even for his age: He is twenty-eight then, but because a satyr's lifespan is twice that of a human, he is considered a teenager. Grover is quite sensitive and attached to nature. He is a vegetarian, and is known to eat tin cans, furniture, and worships cheese enchiladas. Like all satyrs, he can sense emotions and smell monsters and demigods. As the series progresses, his concern for his friends and the pursuit of his goals leads him to take on leadership roles and become more confident. Unlike his demigod friends, Grover is not an orthodox fighter. Instead, he uses reed pipes or a cudgel. In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Grover begins a relationship with the dryad Juniper.
In The Lightning Thief, he gets a "searcher's license" after delivering Percy safely, allowing him to search for the lost god Pan. When Polyphemus captures him in The Sea of Monsters, he activates an empathy link, a psychic bond with Percy created a year before, allowing them some telepathic communication across great distances. He uses this to guide Percy to his rescue. At the end of The Last Olympian, he is named a Lord of the Wild and given a seat on the satyrs' ruling council, the Council of Cloven Elders.
