MagnaGuard

Grievous's personal body guards, MagnaGuards (MAG-nuh GARDS) are build specifically to fight Jedi. Their energy-enfused staffs are called electrostaffs, and are made of phrik metal, which are resistant to lighsaber blades. Their capes were similar to Kaleesh who served Grievous when he was fully biotic. Technically called IG-100 MagnaGuards, they came in blue, alabaster, black, and, rarely, gray. MagnaGuards were able to speak, and often taunted their opponents in battle. They could fight while missing a head, as demonstrated by the MagnaGuard that fought Obi-Wan Kenobi on the Invisible Hand (the ship on which Chancellor Palpatine was rescued from Count Dooku and General Grievous by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan), due to an extra "eye" (photoreceptor) on their chests. Grievous, unsatisfied by their combat programming, erased their minds and trained each individual in lightsaber fighting techniques. The general also disallowed all repairs to the MagnaGuards, intending to intimidate oponents with the scarred and/or maimed combat droids.
