Grandgrowl

Grandgrowl is a Gear piloted by the character Seraphita in Xenogears.

Description
The lion-shaped Grandgrowl acts as the core of the four fused Element Gears when combined as G-Elements. Its fire ether engine is used at maximum capacity at that time. This was not in the original design, but was included for general use similar to Marinebasher.

Analysis
Grandgrowl is the Gear piloted by Seraphita, one of the Elements. The party only fights it directly at one part during the game, when the party is seeking to fire a shot from Fort Jasper at Babel Tower's mirror to destroy a Gate. Seraphita and Tolone attack the party and fight them in two separate battles with their Gears. The Gear later appears at the first Anime Dungeon, but combines with the other 3 Element Gears to fight the party as G-Elements. Seraphita pilots the Gear when the Elements head to Merkava, although the party doesn't fight them at this time.
