Grippy Toad is a new character that is introduced in the Star Fox spinoff title, Star Fox Guard. He is the uncle of Slippy Toad and presumably Beltino Toad's brother, considering the great family resemblance and shared surname. Grippy is the president of Corneria Precious Metals Ltd., a deep space mining company in charge of mining facilities in search for rare metals in space. Though, during this search, he comes across the trouble of being attacked by enemies.
