The '''Mandrake mercenary''' is both a regular and boss monster that players fight in {{DQ7}}, as well as a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. The English version of the game differentiates between the two by naming the boss '''Skraw'''.

==Characteristics==
'''Mandrake mercenaries''' are yellow-scaled bipedal anthropomorphic [[Dragon family|dragon]] soldiers that wield a cutlass and shield into battle. They have a large pair of wings on their back with blue webbing and a blue pair of horns on their head. Their weapons and armor are all silver. They appear as a regular enemies in the past versions of [[Nottagen Cavern]] and [[Hubble]] area, and as a boss in [[Providence]]. Note that these regions can be done in any order once accessible, so which variant players encounter first will vary. The boss version is unwinnable due to plotline restrictions, but the second fight is a regular battle.

Of the three Mandrake monsters that can be found in {{Dragon Quest VII}}, the regular enemy variant of Mandrake mercenary is weaker and encountered earlier than both the [[Mandrake major]] and the [[Mandrake monarch]] (the latter being the strongest of the three).

Mandrake mercenaries reappears in ''X'', being slightly stronger than the majors, but outclassed by the [[Mandrake marshal]]s and the newly appearing [[Ash lizard]]s and [[Red moon warrior]]s. Previously, mercenaries shared a near identical appearance with marshals, but in ''X'', marshals were given their old SNES appearance instead of their bright yellow coloring.
