Alraune

Alraunes (花妖娘) are a species of mandrakes.

Background
Alraunes are a species of mandrakes and are related to two known cousin species: Galgenmaennlein and Alruna.

Appearance
At first glance in their passive form, alraunes appear as flower buds, large enough to engulf an entire person. Inside the flower bud when it opens reveals body and face.

Abilities
According to Sous-chef, alraunes are much more intelligent than base stock mandrakes. Later it is shown that they are capable of coherent speech. Similar to mandrakes alraunes are able to hide under the soil and spring out. Though their levels appear to be below the 60s.

Culture
From what Ainz Ooal Gown inferred from alraune culture, they possess a hierarchy. Leaders speak for the whole, acting as their representative. During meetings with outsiders only leaders bloom their faces and bodies before their guests in order to speak with them. Meanwhile subordinate alraune do not bloom before their guests, keeping their heads partially covered only stealing peaks through their petals. While seemingly discourteous, it is believed by Ainz to actually be a form of respect in alraune culture.

Trivia

 * The Great Tomb of Nazarick has fourteen Alraunes planted in the meadow of the 6th Floor.
 * Among those fourteen alraune, two were recently born, which Ainz hopes to see if monsters born within Nazarick count towards the monster count within the dungeon's system and if they display any new performance traits.
