The Mandrake mangler is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

When the mandrake mangler first appeared in Dragon Quest IX, it was given the same name as the darker red Mandrake marauder, but in Japanese, it was a completely new and different monster.

Mandrake manglers are bipedal anthropomorphic dragon soldiers with pinkish-red scales. They have large pairs of wings on their backs with grey membranes, a long pair of horns, and scales running down the top of their heads to their tails, all in grey, as well. Their swords and shields are brass-colored, while their armour is ivory-coloured. In battle, they have a tendency to call for more of their kind as backup.
