Mandragora are enemies in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. They are bipedal plants appearing in various levels such as the Maze Gardens and Woes Moor.

Background
Common ingredients in the creation of magic potions, mandrake roots are an important resource for alchemists and mages the world over, however, the harvesting of mandrake roots is a dangerous activity, when the root is dug up, the plant will scream loudly, killing anyone near it. When they are fully grown, mandrakes become Mandragora, sentient beings who survive by draining the life force of nearby creatures.

Strategy
Mandragora are easy to kill, just whip them a couple of times, or grip and successfully finish a timed event. They attack by attempting to absorb Gabriel's health. Attack them quickly and that should not be an issue.
