Notes:

• Spawns for Gatherer of Light (II) at or near the cutscene ??? in Qufim Island.
• Has about 350 HP. Ridiculously low damage vs. a 75 -- who can easily one shot any of them.
• Takes triple damage.
• Use a move called "Demonic Flower" which sacrifices a 80-90% of their own HP to deal damage. Deals about 300 points of damage which can be a problem if lot of them use it at once.
• Attacks in multiple waves.
• Beware their agro method. Seed Mandragora will link to other Seed Mandragora first, then agro by range. If they become focussed on a pet, autotarget will not work and each mandy will have to be attacked manually. This delay allows a lot of mandragora to gather and use their Demonic Flower ability. Best not to use pets at all unless they can use aoe damage abilities.
