Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

Mandragoon is fairly docile unless disturbed, at which point it will screech deafeningly. It was once believed that a Mandragoon's screams were deadly to those who heard them.


When not hunting or foraging, Mandragoon will dig its long, root-like tail into the ground and soak up nutrients from the earth. It can also use its tail to drain energy out of live prey.

Design History

(click thumbnail to enlarge.)

Mandragoon 1.0 (c. 2004)
I haven't been able to find the earliest picture I drew of Mandragoon, though as far as I recall it was basically just a green Charizard. (Well, intended to be green; I don't remember actually coloring it.)
Mandragoon 2.0 (c. 2009)
Much less Charizard-like and more its own thing, but aside from being green it isn't much of a Grass-type, is it? The root-tail by itself doesn't help as much as I first assumed it did.
Mandragoon 3.0 (2020)
In addition to general coloring and linework cleanup, this new design is a little more colorful (with petals a bit like an actual Mandragora plant), and hopefully looks a bit more like a Grass-type rather than 'just a green dragon'. Also, its mouth is open wider for a proper scream.
