Mandrake

The Mandrake is a small, plant-like Unversed appearing in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. At first, the Mandrake is partially buried in the ground, shooting leaf-blades at the player. However, once approached, it jumps out of the ground and hovers with its leaves while expelling a poisonous pollen. This stops once it reaches the ground, where it is relatively harmless until approached, where it can ram onto you, causing confusion. It resembles many of the plant-like Heartless in behavior and appearance (e.g. Creeper Plant, Fire Plant, etc.).

Design
A 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 lacks arms. It has a spherical, white head partially surrounded by a dark green "collar". Its eyes are red and set in a sorrowful expression and it has a red marking between them resembling a mouth. The Mandrake’s most prominent features are the three white, leaf-like blades on its head. These blades end in pale green, arrowhead tips that are vaguely reminiscent of the spikes on the Nobody symbol.

Strategy
A Mandrake is an easy opponent. While halfway buried, it shoots leaf blades which can be deflected back with Guard for damage, or dodged by jumping. Once approached, It leaps out of the ground and flies around dispelling poisonous pollen, at which time it's best to wait until it lands. Once on the ground, it attempts to ram players, causing confusion status if successful. Its tackles can be guarded, leaving it open to damage from Revenge Stamp or Barrier Cracker.
