The Mandrake is a Commando. It has a varied skillset, and learns the rare Area Sweep command early on its development. Its crystarium development is heavily geared towards increasing Strength. Unfortunately, stat development is very slow at early levels, and its final stats do not compare favorably to other level 99 monsters.
