- —Granga
Template:Andronian Army member infobox Granga (グランガ Guranga) is one of Andross' soldiers. He pilots an unnamed mech used to battle the Star Fox Team on Corneria in Star Fox 64.
Appearance
Granga in Star Fox 64 3D.
Granga himself appears to be some sort of ape or monkey in a military uniform. The giant robot he pilots is several stories tall, red and bipedal, and stands on two rickety legs with a pair of missile launcher "arms". A large green backpack-shaped device, possibly the robot's power source, is attached to its back plate. Andross's insignia is printed on its chest.
Methods of attack
Granga is perhaps the easiest of the bosses in Star Fox 64. His mech is armed with a variety of weapons, but the only ones which can really harm you or your wingmen are his missiles, and even then only if you take an inordinately long time to defeat him. Destroying the arms on the mech will prevent Granga from firing missiles, but note that if you later shoot off his legs he will somehow regain his missile capability.
Weakness
Granga's weakness is the green rectangular power pack on his back. Depending on his movements it may be a little difficult to line up a good strafing run, but this can easily be solved by blowing off his legs and immobilizing him. Note that destroying the legs will allow him to fire missiles even if you've previously destroyed his arm launchers...but this shouldn't matter much, as once he's a sitting duck he can be finished off in a matter of seconds.

Trivia
- If the player manages to successfully somersault over and beneath Granga without colliding in the process, they will be rewarded with an extra life. Shooting off its weapons and head will also reward the player with Supply Rings or Smart Bombs.
- It is unknown what Granga's purpose is, other than to fight the Star Fox Team, however the Star Fox 64 3D boss role describes Granga as the "Urban Assault Weapon".
- Granga is the only boss pilot besides the Star Wolf team members, Caiman to a certain extent and Andross himself to have a name.
- In the official guide for Star Fox 64, Granga was stated to be the name of the pilot of the mech. However, in the 3DS version, the name was instead attributed to the mech itself via the boss subtitles.
