Revision as of 02:32, 5 December 2006

This monster-related article is a stub. You can help by expanding it according to the style guide.

Mandragors are a species in the bestiary of Guild Wars. They seem to be a merger of insects and plants, but technically they belong to neither of these two species. They have exoskeletons and drop carapaces like insects, but they also have rootlike projections and drop roots like plants. They seem to be amphibious, can be found in marshes and areas by the water. They burrow underground and pop up to surprise travellers and move at a very high speed.
