Grover is a friendly, very likable, childlike Muppet in the children's television show Sesame Street. He is without a trace of guile. His character is multi-talented, taking on many different roles and professions throughout the series run. However, in recent years, his role on Sesame Street has decreased in favor of Elmo, who represents a younger child with whom the target demographic can presumably identify, but still remains one of the best beloved characters.

Grover describes himself as a "cute, furry, adorable monster." He is fuzzy and blue (although in Sesame Street's first season the muppet that would become Grover was actually green), and much like other Muppets on the show in appearance. Grover does not use contractions when speaking, giving him a distinctive vocal pattern unlike other Sesame Street characters, all of which tend to be child-like. In addition to his distinctive vocal pattern, Grover displays a wide array of eloquent and erudite articulation, suggesting a high level of education and sophistication for a 'monster'. Furthermore, he occasionally breaks the 'monster fourth wall' and references something for his 'grown-up' viewers.

He is genuinely selfless and zealously concerned for others - though he is often unaware of the stress that his enthusiasm causes others when he comes to their aid. (See Fat Blue) He appeared in several sketches with Kermit the Frog, which always began with Kermit engaged in some activity (whether specifically waiting for Grover or not), when Grover, far in the background, waved to him, shouting "Heeeeeeeeeeey, Froggie Bay-beeeeee!" then ran up to him and enthusiastically slapped him on the back. Grover customarily called Kermit "Froggie."

When appearing in sketches with the Amazing Mumford or Herbert Birdsfoot, Grover's behavior was much the same, simply substituting "Mumfie" or "Herbie" for "Froggie." All three characters tended to regard Grover's appearance with mild trepidation, since his slap on the back was quite jarring. He has also referred to Oscar as "Grouchy" from time to time.

In When Grover Moved to Sesame Street, it is learned that Grover has a toy named Teddy Monster, and an exotically-finned goldfish.

Grover, along with Elmo, is one of the more popular characters created during the show's run, partially for his distinct manner of speaking and for his numerous imaginary adventures (particularly as Super Grover), with which children easily identify. He is also shown in several skits as a waiter in a restaurant who always serves the same bald blue human muppet customer (Fat Blue) and while Grover tries his very best to satisfy him, he never quite gets it right which results in the customer getting really frustrated, sometimes to the point of fainting.
