Mandrake (Mandragora)
The Mandrake root is a powerful restorative. It forms an essential part of most antidotes, including one for Petrification (CS6) The Mandrake Restorative Draft returns people who are transfigured or cursed to their original state. Mandrake seedlings are tufty little plants, purplish green in color (CS6) with what look like tiny babies growing where the roots would be. These creatures grow and develop over the course of several months until they mature and can be harvested and used for potions. The cry of the Mandrake is fatal to humans, so special care must be taken when growing them. Even as a baby, the Mandrake's howls can knock a person out for a couple of hours.
The Dugbog is particularly fond of eating Mandrakes (FB).
