Mandragoras (or mandrake):
These plants were discovered by Hera Smith in 1543. They live in the forests. The mandragoras are one of the most strange magic plants in the world. The mandragoras can undo powerful charming spells. You should be very careful with these plants, because the mandragora is dangerous. The cry of the mandragora is fatal to anyone who hears it. They like the light and the heat. Instead of roots at the bottom, there is a baby-like creature, with leaves that are purple-green on his head. This boy's skin is tufty and purplish green. It is recommended to fertilize these unusual plants with dragon manure.
