A '''Mandrake''' is a type of [[Dark Eldar]] native to the [[Commorragh]] region of '''[[Aelindrach''']]{{Fn|5}} whose physique has adapted to make him/her camouflaged almost anywhere. They have evolved the so-called shadow-skin, which makes them nigh-invisible out of direct light. They also exist within a different reality itself and are capable of entering into reality straight out of another person's shadow. No-one knows how this dramatic change has occurred, not even their Dark Eldar kin. While the shadowskin could be just the result of [[warp]] exposure, other theories exist. Some consider them to be the very shadows brought to life, while others suggest that Mandrakes are a union of [[Eldar]] and [[Daemon]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
One thing that is known about the Mandrakes is their lethality. Even the brutal denizens of [[Commorragh]] fear these creatures. Younger Dark Eldar call Mandrakes "creepers", whispering that they can slink from one shadow and to another. They strike from the shadows, surprising and rending their enemies apart, with strength more often associated with [[Orks]], rather than the [[Eldar]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
