Grogu Google
Hold the mouse down anywhere over the frame and the whole layout lifts toward your cursor. Let go and it falls. Grogu walks along the bottom to stay under whatever he is holding up.
What Is the Grogu Easter Egg?
Search the character and a small figure appears beside the results. Click him and he concentrates: his ears fold back, one hand comes up, and the page starts to shake and lift. Release and everything drops back into place.
Grogu google is one of the few character tie-ins that reacts to what you do rather than playing a fixed clip, which is why people keep clicking it long after the novelty of the animation has gone.
How the Grogu Trick Started
It arrived in December 2020, timed to the second season of the series he appears in. Searching the character name, or the nickname everyone used before the show revealed it, triggered the same effect.
Tie-ins like this run for a promotion window and then come down, which is what happened to thanos snap a year earlier. The rebuilt version above keeps working regardless of what search is doing this month.
How to Use Grogu on Google
- Hold the mouse down over the page to start lifting it.
- Move while holding, and the whole layout follows your cursor.
- Press use the Force to keep it switched on without holding the button.
- Press drop everything for a sudden release from height.
- Put the page back restores the original layout.
The green orbs are loose objects too, so they get caught up in the lift along with the search results.
FAQs

Is it the same as the Baby Yoda animation?
Both names came from the same promotion and triggered the same effect.
Why does he move along the bottom?
He tracks your cursor horizontally, so the direction he faces matches where the page is being pulled.
