Dendroids are actually Den-Droids

Quote:
XEL: Giants and titans are made of some rock-like material (which is especially evident in the titan’s HoMM2 and MM 6-7 death animation), but appear to be something more than just a golem. Moreover, their HoMM4 variation is clearly made of flesh?

Also a notable thing is that both angels and some giants and titans are allied with Bracada. Did you have any ideas about titan lore?

GF: Starting with HoMM4, I can tell you, I was only on the project for the first two weeks of its existence. Why did the Titans shed their apparent inorganic appearance? I honestly do not know. It is possible the HoMM4 team, by setting the game on a completely new world, chose to reinvent the Titans as flesh and blood giants in the Greek tradition. It is also possible a ‘lack of communication led to creative inconsistency’.

In terms of game mechanics, what Jon and I wanted to avoid, was having yet another group of troops immune to Mind Spells. To this end, I considered Naga, Giants, and Titans to be conceptually similar to Dendroids, but there was never any specific lore explanation crafted to elaborate on this idea.
Seems like they were inorganic up to H3, but were made to be living creatures in H4



Dendroids might be officially robots too. Their name and Greg's hints suggest this. They also suggest the Nagas were created as playthings for someone. I should also add, the Den-Droids' dwelling needs only gold, no wood.

Also, look at this dude, does he actually look like a tree? And he also was present in the Forge teaser video:

These aren't the droids we're looking for. You can go about your business.

I like the name "Ents" better though.
