Henchweeds are plant creatures who worked for supervillain Baron Thistle within the Maximum Velocitree franchise. They appear in the episode "Ricker than Fiction".
Biography[]
The Henchweeds first appear working for Baron Thistle as the Robo Trees attack them in order to stop the former. Morty meets the Henchweeds when he becomes the Son of Thistle after being infected by a resurrected zombie Baron Thistle and is forced to be the new antagonist of the film. Morty promises to treat them better than Baron Thistle did as they build a doomsday device that will melt the polar ice caps within the North Pole. When Rick and the Robo Trees arrive to their base, they attack the Henchweeds but team up with the Robo Trees and attack Rick and Morty after the latter accidentally reveals that he is working with Rick. When Rick and Morty arrive to the North Pole, they are attacked by both groups but Rick and Morty throw themselves into the doomsday device’s laser, blowing the device and killing the Henchweeds.
