In the context of the family tree, Grug represents the old world. He relies on brute strength and strict routines (hunting in a pack). His character arc is one of the most significant in the franchise. Initially, he views the "tree" as a fortress to keep the world out. By the end of The Croods: A New Age , he learns that the tree must grow branches to let in new ideas. His relationship with his daughter Eep is the central conflict; he is the anchor trying to hold her back, only to realize he must let her climb.

The strength of the Croods family tree lies in its ability to incorporate non-nuclear members, challenging the traditional definition of "clan."
