Mandragora (creature)

Mandragora is a recurring enemy in the Final Fantasy series, and is always plant-like in appearence. Their sizes, however, range from relatively diminuative (as in XII) to gigantic (As in X)

Final Fantasy VII
Mandragoras can be fought outside of the Chocobo Farm and are weak monsters to fight. They are of no threat to the party.

Final Fantasy IX
Mandragoras can be fought in a forest near Quan's Dwelling. They are rather powerful enemies that can easily knock out an underleveled party with their Chestnut special, which deals damage equal to the amount of damage the Mandragora has taken. Aside from that, they aren't too much of a threat.

Final Fantasy X
Mandragoras are fought outside of the Zanarkand Dome and are relatively powerful foes to fight. They have access to the powerful Earthquake ability, and its Ochu Dance can inflict Confusion, Blind, Slow, and Silence on all characters. Its physical attack can also inflicts Poison on each hit.

Final Fantasy XII
The Mandragora is a plant-type enemy, as in previous games, but now possesses a human-like shape. It is found at the Phon Coast and is docile until attacked.
