Description
These mandrakes have a piercing yet harmless cry. They are parasitic and need a host plant for nutrients. They are much less dangerous than their green-leafed brethren, but in turn are much more difficult to grow.Related content

Special mandrakes!! I like its tangled limbs. It looks very serene, too... it's probably not as serene when it's screaming, tho'. |D

do you know what kind of things people would use this kind of mandrake for?

Hm! I'd imagine it would have medicinal and magical properties, similar to regular mandrakes. Herbalists would grow it for these uses, and because it's less dangerous to harvest (even if they have to go through the extra effort of making sure it bonds and grows properly with its host plant.) Kindly herbalists only harvest the leaves as they sprout, allowing the mandrake to rest and recuperate between harvests. They even befriend the creatures and know how to keep them happiest. More profit-minded or callous herbalists will use the whole mandrake.
