Description
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
)A draw for "War gods", if you live on Brazil, soon near to U
photoshop CS/Bamboo/7hours/Music: Wicked child -castlevania (I love this version of ocremix along with the remix of castlevania chronicles)

Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night is the best!
Also, alraune is an OLD yugioh card.

I really do wonder which game (or whatever) started the whole alraune being a rose-woman thing. Even though the human-plant concept from it is understandable, alraune is just another word for mandrake, and mandrakes don't have anything to do with roses, yet it persists!Β

My first thoughts when I saw this were "gorgeous" and "Disgaea 2!" (awesome, under appreciated game). Love the design and colors

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

I completly agree with you on the order of castlevania titles. No other 3D castlevania can creep me out like that.
