The brain requires oxygen to function so he must have had something that produce it. This maybe organic lungs or cyborg parts, either way when Mace crushed him (Clone Wars Ep25) that must have damaged these hence the wheezing.

I think he always crouched when he walked.

Just my 2p

I suppose so, I didn't read anything about the origins of "Kaleesh" but that's probably right.

Isn't there some Hindu god with multiple limbs by the name of khali or something. That would be where that species name comes from.

actually i think he is supposed to have organic guts inside the metal shell. so he possibly does have breathing organs and whatnot that could have been slightly crushed and or damaged in some way by mace's force attacks.

oh, and his species is supposedly "Omix-patra"

That was me who mentioned programming lol. I know he was organic and his body was only machine but I was just wondering why it coughed and walked hunch-backed and figured maybe he programmed it to be like he would if he had the rest of his body, but that doesn't sound so good anymore lol.

I thought he was kinda cool. Not having seen these cartoons I at first thought he was some high-tech droid General they had made or something, but when I saw he was organic it was kinda like a bit of a prelude to what was going to happen to Anakin for me.

who said he is total robot?
programing? wth?
i guess you should check your eyes coz robots cant have eyes like grevious has...
thats enough to tell that he is not a robot, and he isnt programmed. furthermore... if he isnt a robot? how he can do anything? answer : he got brain .

The cough probably comes from his OS, then. ;)

Grevious is a mixed-race individual. He's got some X-Box in him, bits of PC and Mac, some servomotors by GE and probably a Microsoft operating system (hence his evil nature and unquenchable desire for conquest).

Well when they get into Grievous' past in Labyrinth of Evil it says he was a great warrior of the Kaleesh species (from the planet Kalee).

Well I'm pretty sure that he has an organic brain. So if that brain is hooked into cybernetic nerve system his brain would tell his mechanical body to mimic is actions just out of habit.
Example:

Several months ago my Aunt lost her left arm in an accident. She has whats known as "Ghost Pains/Feeling" Her brain is still trying to send her arm signals. and she still feels as though she has her arm and fingers. Wierd stuff!

So one of my co-workers read "Lab. of Evil" which goes into his back story.

I don't remember his species, but he was an amazing war stratigist. Who wasn't the most upstanding general.

He agreed to work with Sidous and Dooku, but he was too independant. So they staged and accident, then moved his remains into the body you see.

This also somehow let them ahve omre control over them. So now they have like the galaxies best general at thier complete disposal.

The reason he was coughing is because in "The Clone Wars" (the cartoons the show what happens between episodes 2 and 3) at the end he has a brief encounter with Mace and Mace like force crushes part of his body injuring him.

Most of this is 2nd hand so it might not be completely correct.

Most of what I have researched was, he's was a bug like creature, kinda spidery/humanoid. Then he was fatally injured, where palpatine came in and proposed that they operate on him to make him half machine or he would die, so grevious said yes. The result is a half android, half alien...a cyborg.
