Etymology
Mandragora is a plant belonging to the nightshade family. According to some legends surrounding witchcraft, when Mandragoras (Mandrake plants) are uprooted, they emit a piercing scream which kills all who hear it. This legend is referenced in Final Fantasy XII with the Screamroot item, which can be dropped or stolen by some monsters of the Mandragora class.
