Groot

Groot is the last of the Flora colossi from Planet X, and the inseparable partner of Rocket. Far more agreeable that his companion but with an extremely limited vocabulary, they both currently work as members of the team known as the Guardians of the Galaxy alongside Peter Quill, Gamora and Drax.

Trivia

 * Regarding Rocket and Groot's redesign, the inseparable nature of the duo resulted in not only a complementary fighting style but also a visual design that played on the strengths of their bond. Groot's body armor was designed to reflect the look of armor plating from Japanese mech designs. Gauthier-Leblanc explains that their gear echoes their dynamic and how integral they are to one another. For instance, Groot wears a harness created by Rocket so he can climb up and fire away at enemies, and Rocket sports a bead-shaped like a mini-Groot in his goatee.
