True Mandrake (CR 11)

True Mandrake (CR 11): This plant has broad, dark green, glossy leaves, yellow flowers, and red berries. Its roots bear a vague resemblance to a humanoid figure, including a gaping mouth and beady eyes. If the plant is pulled from the ground, its mouth opens wide and emits a shriek equivalent to wail of the banshee (DC 23) as it dies. This is a spell-like effect (CL 17th). Mandrakes grow only in spots where many creatures have died and been left to rot in the same place -as a result, many societies hold the erroneous belief that it grows only beneath gallows.
