Mandrake

Mandrakes, also known as mandragora, are magical plants that grow all over the world. It is said that the first mandrakes grew when men who were hanged released bodily fluids onto fertile soil.

Appearance
The mandrake plants themselves look normal, with elliptical, hairy leaves, and five flowers, ranging in color from greenish-white to pale blue. The root, however, looks humanoid, with seedlings looking like infants, all the way up to adulthood.

Properties
When mandrake grow, they not only tend to look like humans, but tend to have similar behaviors. They tend to sprout their version of acne, become moody, secretive, and throw large parties when they enter their version of adolescence. One can tell when mandrakes are fully grown when they start planting themselves next to each other or moving into each other's pots. When a mandrake is pulled out of the ground, then they will release a scream as a defense mechanism. The scream of a mature plant will kill anyone who hears it, however, a seedling plant's scream will only knock out anyone who hears it. These plants, when matured, are mainly used in many medicinal potions, such as the werebeast and vampire antidotes.
