Mandragora FFXI

Mandragora (マンドラゴラ, Mandoragora?) is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series that has appeared as an enemy and a summon, and is always plant-like in appearance. While it debuted in Final Fantasy VII, its now iconic appearance as a walking bulbous vegetable first appeared in Final Fantasy XI. A group of elite mandragoras, collectively referred to as simply the Mandragoras, appear as recurring bosses.
