Mandrakes are weak enemies overall. They are first encountered on B3F of the Emerald Grove. However, when paired along with stronger monsters, like Roller, it becomes very dangerous, using Corrode to lower the party's defense. Other than that, it's very lacking, and shouldn't cause any trouble.

Mandrakes are first encountered on 21F.
Mandrakes will use their Scream more often and with greater accuracy while their health is low. The Scream attack has a moderate chance to instantly kill the entire party and can result in a game over if the Mandrake isn't slain quickly.
Also, if you get blindsided, they can use Scream even if they are at full health, so you are most likely to get a game over.
They do have low defense and HP values though, however they evade hits most of the time, so they can be hard to kill.
Skills
- Scream (Uses Head): May instantly kill the entire party

- Cry Root (Worth: 138 en)
- Arc Branch (Worth: 220 en)
- Coal Brick (Conditional) (Worth: 162 en)

Drops

The Mandrake is a monster first encountered on 21F of the Heavenly Keep. While most of the time it is content with using standard attacks, it should be killed quickly, if it ever readies an attack, as the next turn it will unleash Last Cry that will instantly kill the party.

- Last Cry (Uses Head): High chance of instantly killing the party (It can be interrupted with Blast Granades)
Drops
- Mandrake Root (Worth: 608 en)

- Selling the Bound Root to the shop unlocks the Queen's Whip, one of the strongest whips in the game.
Conditional Drop
- To get the Bound Root, kill the Mandrake while it is completely bound. As it resists all binds this might be incredibly difficult to do, especially if it threatens a Last Cry in the meantime.
