A tree-like being grown from a twig of the Groot who died at Xandar, raised aboard the Guardians' ship from a seedling into an adolescent. He fought Ego with the Guardians, helped forge Stormbreaker on Nidavellir, and was lost in the Snap at the Battle of Wakanda. Restored in the Blip, he returned to the Guardians, helped save Rocket from the High Evolutionary, and stayed on under Rocket's captaincy.
