Mandrake

Mandrake derive their name from a toxic herb. The scholar who initially assigned the name believed there was a resemblance between the two solely based on their appearance. While blooming, Mandrake emit heat rays targeting nearby objects, while sturdy leaves anchor it firmly to the ground, preventing uprooting. When threatened, Mandrake may use their sharp leaves for self-defense. Similar to the legend of their namesake, Mandrake cries can be highly deadly. "Stay away! It's gonna bloom any second now!"
