The basis of the story of Alraune dates to the Middles Ages in Germany. The humanoid-shaped Mandrake root or Mandragora officinarum was widely believed to be produced by the fluids of hanged men under the gallows. Alchemists claimed that when hanged men broke his necks, vital fluids fall to the floor and the earth absorbed their final "strengths". In some versions, it is blood or semen. The root itself was used in love philtres and potions while its fruit was supposed to facilitate pregnancy. Witches who "love" to the Mandrake root were said to produce offspring which had no feelings of real love and had no soul.

Very influenced by Castlevania, Love each one (yeah, even simon quest, LOL), Castlevania IV is still my favorite, followed by Rondo of blood, castleviania 3, SOTN and castlevania 64 (still, best 3D castlevania for me :p)

A draw for "War gods", if you live on Brazil, soon near to U :p

The nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh…was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults.
IA IA CTHULHU FHTAGN!!

I think that this creature was the most memorable enemy (well there were 2 versions but it basically was a palette swap) in Castlevania Symphony of the Night^^

I liked Simon's Quest back then, sure it was kinda cryptic and that night to day/day to night box that popped up all the time was kind of annoying, but I tought it was decent overall =3

is pretty much a similar design for a character called 'Alraune' like in Disgaea2, at least about the lower body-half...there, in case you don't know it
