Not intentionally

Why mandrake then?

Initially a `Final <https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Mandragora_(Final_Fantasy_IX)>`__
`Fantasy <https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Mandragora_(Final_Fantasy_X)>`__ enemy mandragora.

mandrakes are a real plant with a name we thought sounded a bit more memorable. There
are a `few myths about them <https://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/ethnobotany/Mind_and_Spirit/mandrake.shtml>`__
which the Harry Potter ones are based on.
