TheMandrake is anUnversed that appears inKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Design[edit]

The Mandrake is a small Unversed with dark green skin, wide hips, and short legs. It has green and light green highlights on its body, and it lacks arms. The Mandrake has a spherical, white head that is partially surrounded by a dark green "collar," and its eyes are red and set in a sorrowful expression. A red marking between the Mandrake's eyes resembles a mouth. The Mandrake's most prominent feature is the three white, leaflike blades atop its head. These blades end in pale green, arrowhead-like tips.

InKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, the Mandrake receives a palette swap that gives it an orange body with yellow highlights. The leaflike blades on its head are changed to a light shade of yellow-green.

The Mandrake's name is derived from that of arecurring enemy in theFinal Fantasy series, as well as the mythicalMandragora.

Strategy[edit]

From a distance, Mandrakes launch sharp leaves at their opponents which can be blocked and eventually deflected at other enemies, but cannot damage the Mandrakes back while in that state. It is recommended in order to avoid getting sniped while dealing with other enemies to instead directly approach those Mandrakes, making these Unversed leap out of the ground and hover in midair, while using Poison Powder. It is best to wait for this attack to conclude before countering. Otherwise, one risks being poisoned. One can be confused if a Mandrake's Panic Attack makes contact, but if it is successfully blocked, the Unversed will be left open to damage fromCounter Hammer,Counter Rush, orCounter Blast.
