Groot has been part of Marvel Rivals since launch, and his costume catalog has grown into a mix of themed outfits and recolors. If you main the tree-shaped tank and want to know what cosmetics are tied to him, the lineup is small but distinct.
Quick answer: Groot’s costume catalog starts with his default look and adds several named skins, including three Rare-rarity skins that are full designs rather than color swaps.
Groot’s costume catalog in Marvel Rivals
Open Groot’s costume catalog in the Heroes menu and you’ll see his base appearance alongside a set of unlockable skins. The notable detail is that three of his skins carry the Rare rarity tier and are original designs, not recolored versions of an existing outfit. That is unusual for a character who has been available for as long as Groot.
The named costumes tied to Groot include the following.
- Default
- Big Buddy
- Carved Traveler
- Symbiote
- Flora
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. tie-in look
- Holiday Happiness
Each entry sits in a different rarity bracket, which affects how detailed the model is and how it’s obtained in the shop or through events.
What “three Rare skins, not recolors” means
In Marvel Rivals, many lower-tier skins are recolors that reuse an existing model with a new palette. Groot stands out because three of his Rare-tier costumes are built as their own designs instead of simple color changes. That gives players more visual variety at a lower price point than most heroes get at the same rarity.
Note: rarity affects price and presentation, not gameplay. A skin does not change Groot’s stats, abilities, or hitbox, so picking a costume is purely cosmetic.
Fan-requested Groot skins that aren’t in the game
Players have floated a number of alternate Groot looks pulled from the comics, none of which are confirmed for the game. These are community wish-list ideas rather than announced cosmetics.
- Venomized Groot
- King Groot from Tales to Astonish
- The vine-dreadlock design from the Brian Michael Bendis run
- The white-and-blue suited Groot from the Dan Abnett era
- A Grootfall-inspired flaming Groot
Treat these as concepts only. There is no official confirmation that any of them are planned, so don’t expect them to appear in the shop until NetEase says otherwise.
For now, Groot’s wardrobe is compact compared with some of the roster’s headliners, but the trio of original Rare skins gives players solid options without spending big. If you’re chasing a specific look, check his costume catalog directly in the Heroes menu to see which entries are currently available and how each one is priced.
