So I found my first mandrake...

[Vigil]

I was still exploring the map and just making temporary bases camps along the way.

And one night, I was just pressing the space bar to chop down trees and all of a sudden I saw something on the ground moving.

A small walking thing. A mandrake!!!!

At that point I didn't know it was friendly and I had low health so I ran around my camp fire trying to stay alive lol

Until day time, it just sort of planted itself to the ground!

Oh how silly I was.

I plucked all three of the Mandrakes on my first couple of worlds in broad daylight, not realizing they were more than just oversized carrots.

Whoops. >.<

i did the same thing poped them in day light and then blew up trying to cook them lol

i have a thread for this...

I love my mandrakes. There is a page on the wiki too for all the stuff they can do.

I have attempted to play this game three times, I found one in the second attempt and didn't even have the chance to eat it, because I died before that, and on the third attemp, which is the one I'm currently at, I found another one and didn't eat it either, I'm saving it for when i'm low on health and hunger.

Be carefull with that though, I always save them for when things get hairy and end up never using them, which is a pity considering how difficult it can be to find them.
