Template:Sideicon Template:VIICC Enemy Template:See Also The Mandrake is an enemy in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-.
Despite having high Attack and Magic stats, its low Vitality and Spirit stats make it relatively easy to defeat. But it is best to eliminate this foe as quickly as possible to prevent the Mandrake from draining Zack's HP. Assault Twister will do well against the Mandrake. It is highly recommended to have resistance to Instant Death, as its Tri-Fire attack can inflict it.
