Your wizard will encounter the Candied Rams in the Rock Candy Mountains of Karamelle, near the Von Trap Estate. These Candied Rams are known to be temperamental. Wizards have to distract them so that Maulwurf von Trap can sneak past on the way back to Karamelle City from the Von Trap Estate.

The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the bindweed or morning glory family, Convolvulaceae. Its large, starchy, sweet-tasting tuberous roots are used as a root vegetable. The young shoots and leaves are sometimes eaten as greens. Cultivars of the sweet potato have been bred to bear tubers with flesh and skin of various colors. Sweet potato is only distantly related to the common potato (Solanum tuberosum), both being in the order Solanales. Although darker sweet potatoes are often referred to as “yams” in parts of North America, the species is even more distant from the true yams, which are monocots in the order Dioscoreales.

Candied Yams or Candied sweet potatoes are an American dish. This side dish, consisting mainly of sweet potatoes prepared with brown sugar, marshmallows, maple syrup, molasses, orange juice, marron glacé, or other sweet ingredients, is most often served in the US on Thanksgiving.
