The Abies Algae skin in all Marvel Rivals Groot skins brings an interesting twist on Groot’s usual design, giving him a glowing, bioluminescent blue color thanks to glowing algae merging with his natural plant physiology. This fresh and vibrant take adds a whole new layer of uniqueness to his look, especially with the glowing effect.

His in-game description is as follows:

"Peter, it is also my first time seeing Groot eat. The plant life combined with his physiology, so the blue, glowing algae have merged with his chlorophyll. I sense his joy, bioluminescent and bright."

The base skin may lack the flash of the other options, but it’s a classic for a reason. Representing Groot in his original form, this look captures the sturdy yet silent guardian role. As a flora colossus from Planet X, Groot’s ability to regenerate and manipulate plant life is perfectly reflected in this no-frills design.

Players new to Groot or fans of his timeless style will appreciate this costume in Marvel Rivals Groot skins. While it doesn’t offer the enhancements or unique features of higher-tier skins, its reliability, and nod to the design in the comics make it a solid starting point.
