Grappling Troopers were specialized Mandalorian warriors within Death Watch. These troopers utilized whipcord launchers against enemies and were designated with a unique unit symbol on their Mandalorian armor.
Grappling Troopers were active by the time Death Watch was headquartered on Carlac. Following the attack on Ming Po Town, Grappling Troopers dragged Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano back to the Death Watch camp after her identity was discovered. They later participated in the Battle on Carlac against Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Lux Bonteri, R2-D2, and a number of repurposed droids.
