"Don't worry, their screams don't really kill you. You might bleed from the ears a bit. I wouldn't get too close without protection, though."[1]
Mandrakes are strange creatures that resemble roots with faces and legs. They're infamous for their piercing screams, which aren't necessarily fatal but still hurt,[2] leading to the practice of "deshrieking" them using certain chemical concoctions.[3] Even a deshrieked mandrake can sing quite loudly, however,[4] and can often learn new songs from dedicated teachers.[5]
Mandrakes are a common sight in the marshes near Watchmaker's Hill,[1] and they're ferocious swimmers as well.[6] In fact, mandrakes that have been domesticated require pots of special marsh-mud to thrive, being roots and all.[7] Mandrakes also have a strange taste for blood, and they may display ravenous behaviors when given meat to feast on,[8] or perhaps something even more horrific.[9]
