Listen to me, Sasha. Before I met you, I was nothing, just a bully in a tower, but you… you inspired me to be so much more, and if you can do that, you can do anything. You can do this.

~ Grime to Sasha after losing his arm.
Grimothy, better known as Captain Grime, is a major character in the 2019 Disney Channel animated TV show Amphibia. He reformed in the final episode of the second season and turned into a true hero as the show's progresses.
He is voiced by Troy Baker, who also voiced Yamato in Naruto Shippuden (Episodes 34-229), Madarao in Kekkaishi, Excalibur in Soul Eater, Greed in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Dr. Reuben Langer in Regular Show.
Grime is a large green toad, with a more terrifying appearance compared to any other of his toad soldiers. His left eye features a slit, glowing yellow-green light while his right one is injured with a pink scar leading down to his lower jaw and he also possesses sharp, yellow teeth. He wears brown metal armor with a dark, purplish cape. He has a very large and muscular build and also wears leather shoulder padding and brown boots.
In "Toadcatcher", Grime sports a gray beard with a line in the middle, and subtle facial hair. He is also less muscular and becoming fatter than before. Since then, he has shaved and gone back to his former self along with new armor.
Personality
Grime feels he must always be respected with his discipline among his former crew of toad soldiers, and before Sasha told him that his army would respect and listen to him better if he were nicer, he was very rude and disrespectful to his army. He was likely this way because he expected them all to toughen up from his downplayed words, but it only ended up making the other toads feel weaker and worse off. Since then, he has been very respectful to his toads and continues to honor their loyalty to him, and in return, they strictly begin to follow his commands.
His frustration can still be shown at times after having become aware of the conflict and rebellion proceeding throughout Amphibia, with many villages beginning to rise up to the toads and refusing to pay up during their monthly tax collecting trips. But his confidence in restoring order has continued to lift as not only have his fellow toads' spirits brightened up, but he believes with someone as ruthless as Sasha by his side, he can succeed in his mission.
Though he has his bad side, he still respects those who aid or care for him. He holds Sasha in high esteem since she saved him from a heron, and even returned the favor by saving Sasha as she was falling from the crumbling Toad Tower even though he was risking his own life, and was clearly furious at the Plantars when she appeared injured.
Biography
Season 1
In "Best Fronds", he captures Sasha and believes her to be a spy after he shows her Anne's missing shoe.
In "Prison Break", Grime checks on the Toad Army downstairs who are all goofing off and acting disruptive. He gets angered that the toads are acting childish and punches one of the walls which makes the toads cease their problematic behavior. He then tells the Toads that he is sick of their behavior and wants them to stop. Grime goes and checks up on Sasha, who is in her cell and proud of herself for getting a couple of Grime's soldiers to quit their jobs. He then is interrupted by Sasha, who is telling him that she doesn't know how she got there and that she wishes to return home. Just then, Percy is walking outside the gates of the tower which attracts two monster herons, which causes Percy to flee back to the Tower with the herons following close after.
Grime watches as one of the herons bursts into the side of the cell and Sasha screams and gets lose from the chain that held her to the wall. Grime then tells Sasha to help him fight, but is unamused as she runs right past him. He is shocked as Sasha runs back with a barrel and throws it at the heron and it flees. Grime, stunned in Sasha's ability asks how she was able to do that which she answers "cheerleading". They then travel to a bunker, where a bunch of whiney toads are scared for their life.
Grime gets frustrated but is quickly interrupted by Sasha and she takes him behind one of the flags. Grime believes he must be very respected and demanding to his army. Sasha then tells him that if he is nicer, his army would comply and listen more, as Grime is generally cruel and insulting to his army. Quite certainly that he thought using his less impressive vocabulary would toughen them up. However, this just made the other toads feel worse, and Grime has been doing his best ever since, continuing to show more regard for his soldiers' loyalty, resulting in them solely following his orders.
