The -est form follows the usual pattern for two-syllable adjectives ending in -y: the y becomes i before the suffix, as in greedier and greediest. Most greedy is also grammatical, though less common. The superlative fits the human senses, appetite and selfish desire (the greediest eater, the greediest of the siblings).
