Kugg was a green-complexioned, pig-like, non-Human male who functioned as the supreme ruler of the planet Dodz. He styled himself as governor, and would become irate if addressed by any other name.
Kugg depended on his combat droid, the Destroyer, to carry out his orders when the planet's business owners failed to remit his ever-increasing tax demands. For recreation, he would view recordings of the Destroyer's destructive actions. When a youthful inhabitant of Dodz, Jost Ellon, defended his fellow citizens with assistance from R2-D2, C-3PO, and an obsolete Ranger X-1 war droid, the Destroyer was defeated in combat against the Ranger X-1. Consequently, the people of Dodz took Kugg into custody to be judged for his misdeeds, thus bringing his rule to a conclusion.
The character of Kugg was brought to life by David Manak, John Romita Sr. and Carlos Garzón.
