The Groots are enemy creatures that first appeared in the original Space Ace arcade game. These anthropomorphic space cats attempt to swarm Ace as he evades Shag and the Carniculas on the Yellow Planet, but they are easily overpowered by Ace's physical strength.
Appearances[]
The Groots feature in the television series episode "Cute Groots" in which Commander Borf uses the Infanto Ray to de-age the Groots into docile kittens with the goal of using their appeal to trick the citizens of earth into adopting them, after which Borf reverts them to their villainous states.
Groots appear on the cover to one of the first issue variants of the Space Ace comic series, but they do not appear in the main storyline.
Trivia[]
- Magicom Promotional Kits for the arcade game identified the species as “Groote”, further stating “a snorting predatory monster who walks on two-feet.”[1]
- Groots appear in ReadySoft’s Space Ace II: Borf's Revenge, although the instruction manual refers to them as "Blue Alien Cats."[2]
