The Destroyer, a menacing droid of death, served Governor Kugg on Dodz, inspiring dread. To impose substantial tax hikes on Dodz's merchants, Kugg employed the droid as his enforcer.
Jost Ellon, a young inhabitant of Dodz, rose to defend the populace, assisted by R2-D2, C-3PO, and his obsolete Ranger X-1 war droid; ultimately, the Destroyer met its end in a confrontation with the Ranger X-1.
The Destroyer communicated solely through a guttural, menacing growl.
Dave Manak, John Romita Sr., and Carlos Garzón were the creators of the Destroyer.
