Mandragge

Description:

A Mandragge is a large plant-creature with a vaguely humanoid form, standing about 3m tall and having the appearance of an ambulatory system of thick roots in the shape of a person. While some believe these strange creatures are a specific plant species, many assert that they are in fact created by shamans breeding specific plants, selecting for specific traits, and then ultimately animating them like some form of plant golem.

Special:

Mandragge are immune to all forms of poison and disease, but take +50% damage from both frost and flame attacks. Mandragge are large and powerful, and will use their flexible, ropey limbs to bludgeon or entangle opponents.

Mandragge can burrow into the ground and move through the earth fairly quickly, and they will often do so to surprise their opponents, or if they find themselves in serious danger.

When attempting a Constrict attack, the first attack must be an attempt to Entangle using the Effect Attack, after which, each turn that the victim does not escape, a Mandragge can roll a 21 Challenge against a helpless target to apply either Fast or Strong Constrict damage.
