Mandrake HP Study

I would guess 25 HP, in light of 25 being the lowest consistent kill. Will return later to test with lesser weapon. test may be more effective with smaller damage intervals. (ie. verify that 24 does NOT kill)

In light of user:Xolah's evidence, it seems that 20 is a better estimate.

2/11 (.18) chance of mandrake root drop observed.
