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 significant role in not only Mercury's conversion into a Machine world, but also the creation of the Infinite Forest and by extension Panoptes, Infinite Mind.

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.
