Ecology
Great Mandrake is a flora given will and motion, often a guardian of specific groves or a corruption of an existing tree species. It is most often found in urban regions. It is tiny-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Great Mandrake is slow but inexorable, defending its grove or pursuing a hidden purpose only its kind understand. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it.
Origin
Great Mandrake is introduced in Kobold Press's Creature Codex (2018). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
