Mandrake (mob)


 * This page is about the Mob, see Mandrake (item) about information on the item.

Mandrake is a rare Mob with many unique properties. Mandrakes always spawn in a small patch of Grassland with several Flowers nearby. Mandrakes are very rare as only 2-4 Mandrakes will spawn within a game.

Mandrakes and can be picked up like Flowers. If picked at daytime they will die immediately and can then be stored in the inventory. Also, they will no longer be "plantable" or reviveable. When picked at night, the mandrake comes to life and follows the player around making occasional sounds. Picking a mandrake at sunset has the same result. When morning comes the mandrake will plant himself where he is, thus repeating the cycle of picking and planting.

Ghosts appear to have a fascination with mandrakes and will often float above the mandrake, whether it is animated or planted. This could be due to the supernatural presence of the mandrake, and how it is an animated plant.

Similarly to the Smallbirds, Mandrakes will fight along by the players side, but die easily since they are a fairly weak mob that will follow the player. It is best for the player to avoid confrontation with hostile mobs if a Mandrake is following, as they will need protection but will attempt to attack the mobs.

All mandrakes will be found around the same area, so usually 1 mandrake finding will soon turn into 1 - 3 more mandrakes as you will easily find more.

Gobblers have a fondness for eating Mandrakes and will destroy all that they find.
