This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
I just wanted to contribute another model do the doodad makers. I came across the idea of making one of the most-rumored poison plants. There were a lot of rumors and myths going around about this plant in Medieval ages. This was due to it's toxic properties and the shape of it's huge tap-root, which often had the shape/form of a human. It was widely used in remmedies and witch-potions and even in medicine. The real mandrake plants usually grow in hoter climates with not very cold and lesser humide winters. Therefor this model should be used in rocky, barren, summer or mountain terrains, to make this model's use more realistic. It's unsuitable for frost, winter, outland, underwater, subterrestrial and firy terrain (like dungeon). The model is supposed to be used as decoration, but i left the birth and especially the death anim, for those of you who want to make it gatherable (like from herbalist, witch, etc). ^^
Feel free to use it! Have fun with it!
EDIT 1: Added a mandrake root item to the plant model. This enables a better harvest option (just let the harvester kill the plant, and the root will pop up as an item). Just use the horn of Cenarius as icon for the root item. It fits very well. The item can also be placed on an alchemist's laboratory table. Also tested it ingames, both models (item & plant) work.

lol, is this a rhetorical question? The answer is: ''because I make it, but don't consume it.''

thanks for the feedback.LoL, this is one poisonous doodad.
Btw, do you guys maybe have an idea of what could be improved on this model? I'm quite satisfied with the entire result, but i feel a very little bit uncomfortable about the flowers.....

''because he makes it, so how stupid he is if he dare to consume it." You did gj, I just wanna more evil tree doodads, or the tree means alot to warning the danger ahead of you, the player. I am looking for more tree & other doodads, terrain texture that signal the vibes of death, bad luck and damn hell to my making of horror map.

hm, i think i know which ones are ideal for that purpose: Jimson Weed (a.k.a. Thornapple, Datura stramonium) and Belladonna (a.k.a. Deadly Nightshade, Atropa belladonna). Both were a symbol for death, dark magic, destruction, demonic powers, devil possession, decay and seduction in the medieval ages. Just check out the articles in wikipedia or a field guide if you're interested to learn more about them.
Besides that, they're also (like the mandrake plant) members of the Nightshade (Solanaceae) family. My mandrake model is also intended to be used as a harvestable plant for ingredient in poisons from rogues and assassins. That's why i left the death anim
