Mandragores have bodies that consist of three fanged [[Nature family|flowers]], a leafy center, and multiple roots that they walk about on like legs. The flowers each have mouths filled with sharp fangs and are attached to the rest of its body with a long neck-like stems. Its flowers are dark green, while the stems and roots are dark blue and the leaves in the center of its body are a dull mossy green. The plants have yet to make a reappearance in the main series of the games.

The mandragore's name is derived from the [[Wikipedia:Mandrake|Mandrake]], which it shares in common with the [[Fright bulb]]. It is the root of the ''Mandragora'' plant and looks vaguely like a human figure when it has been uprooted. Mandrakes, also known as mandragoras, appear extensively throughout European witchcraft and mythology. It was believed that when a mandrake was uprooted, its scream would kill anyone nearby that could hear it.
