Dendron, Root Mind is a Vex Axis Mind that features as the main boss of A Garden World Strike. First encountered in the Simulant Past of Mercury within the Infinite Forest, it played a role in the creation of Panoptes, Infinite Mind and the Infinite Forest itself.

Overview

Dendron is housed within a massive Vex Cyclops chassis, with gold and white detailing that marks it as a member of the Sol Primeval. It remains behind an impenetrable shield unless said shield is disrupted, either by destroying the matrix connected to it or by attacking the various minotaurs that appear. In attack mode, Dendron will circle around the battlefield and fire a Chronology Rifle, or fire a large Time Distortion projectile.

Trivia

• "Dendron" is the Greek term for "tree", which alludes to the environment of the Strike.
• Dendron could be considered the oldest Vex Unit encountered as it predated Panopte's creation and that of the Infinite Forest.
• Dendron is the first Vex Ultra Boss and Axis Mind in the form of Cyclops.
