The '''Mandrake mercenary''' is both a regular and boss monster that players fight in [[Dragon Quest VII]], as well as a recurring monster in the series. It appears as a regular enemy in the [[Nottagen Cavern]] and [[Hubble]] area (past), and as a boss in [[Providence]]. Note that these regions can be done in any order once accessible, so which variant players encounter first will vary. The boss version is unwinnable due to plotline restrictions, but the second fight is a regular battle.
