As the summer sun rises each day to cast its shadow upon Vana'diel, a new unique species of Mandragora lurks deep within the depths of Ambuscade—the Vengeful Citrullus!

To celebrate summer and the new evolution of our beloved plantoid species it brings forth—we're asking adventurers to dust off your Soultrappers and create a memory by capturing your favorite species of Mandragora!

Maybe you're a newbie challenging Tom Tit Tat for the first time, or a more seasoned adventurer gearing up to take on Chloris, or perhaps you simply want to kick it old school with the Korrigan up in The Boyahda Tree! Whichever Mandragora species suits you, we'd love for you to share it with us!

Present us with a screenshot of your character along with your most favorite Mandragora species!
