A '''Mechadendrite''' is a catchall name that covers a variety of tendril-like prosthetics used by [[Enginseer]]s and other members of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] as well as the [[Techmarines]] of the [[Adeptus Astartes]].{{Fn|3}}

Mechadendrites assist in the manipulation of objects, micro-construction, maintenance, research and defence. A mechadendrite is connected to the central nervous system of the [[Techpriest]], and so is controlled through thought just like a biological limb. They are powerful mechanical tools with the strength to lift entire [[Battle Tank]]s off the ground, or with the dexterity to deftly fix the smallest components or solder shut the most minute wounds in a vehicle’s flank.{{Fn|3}}
