Piranha Plants (also referred to as Piranhas) are massive, triffid-like plants encountered throughout the Mario franchise. These carnivores appear to be based on Venus flytraps and will devour anything that approaches them. The head of a Piranha Plant is typically either red or green with multiple other colors. Initially, Piranha Plants were only found in pipes, rapidly darting out to bite anything nearby. Today, they can be encountered both inside and outside pipes, frequently biting or waiting for Mario to approach before striking. Although depicted as plants, Piranha Plants have been portrayed as sentient beings capable of speech on several occasions. However, unlike other enemies in the Mario series, they have never formed societies. Characters such as Petey Piranha, Piranha Bean and Dino Piranha showcase that some Piranha Plants possess animal-like bodies, enabling them to walk.
