Mandragor

Mandragors are unusual creatures which combine insect and plant features and are considered animals by Timahr, an Istani biologist who studies them. The Kournans use the roots of their local species to make cakes. The Charr are known to feed Fibrous Mandragor Roots to their prisoners, which can destroy taste buds and stomach lining.
