Since I mentioned it, to the unawared and spoiled by rpg tropes, Alraune isn't originally a type of plant girl either. Be careful while strolling in the gardens. They can also be used to make Mandrake Soup in a Crock Pot. Mandrakes can be used to make the Pan Flute. They often spawn together in the same area, so finding one will usually result in finding them all. They are very useful, and on average only 2-5 Mandrakes will spawn per World. I like to imagine all of its flowers being able to open a mouth like that and then return to being unsuspecting flowers in the blink of an eye. A Mandrake is a very rare, passive Mob found in Grasslands and Caves. The colors come from the actual Mandragora Autumnalis. I wanted for it to be kinda cute but still somewhat disturbing. Some obvious The Scream inspirations in there. Something simple while I work on the commissions. It was said that witches who made love to the mandrake were impregnated with children who had no soul and were incapable of feeling love, a concept later explored in the novel “Alraune”, by German novelist Hanns Heinz Ewers. Mandrakes were used for many different purposes, such as making love potions, anesthetics, protective charms and “flying ointments”, used by witches to gain the power of flight necessary to go to Sabbaths. To circumvent this, people were advised to use animals tied to the plant to uproot and die in their place instead. It was said to give a blood-curling scream when uprooted, killing anyone who heard it.
The mandrake was said to be created when the semen or blood of hanged men was absorbed into the earth. Its hallucinogenic properties and the vaguely humanoid-shape of its roots surrounded it in all matter of superstitions through history.
The root of a plant said to have magical properties, historically derived from those of the Mandragora genus or species such as the Bryonia alba.
