| An '''Artichoker''' is an {{wp|artichoke}}-like monster that resembles an ordinary shrub, appearing in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. However, it has tiny legs instead of roots, allowing it to move. The plant creature also has a chameleon-like head that remains hidden behind its leaves. Both the legs and the head are revealed when an Artichoker attacks; the head is also shown when attacked in the remake. Artichokers can be found in [[Booster Pass]], where most of the time they remain stationary, appearing to be normal shrubs.

|
| Also, an Artichoker has two primary attacks when engaged in combat. The first is causing damage by scuttling around on its feet. It can also shoot bubbles that cause damage on contact. Additionally, Artichokers can use the lightning attack [[Static Electricity]] or poison party members with [[Stench]]. If an Artichoker is hit with a special attack, it will use Recover to heal itself or other enemies on the battlefield.

The plant creature also has a head (that resembles a fish) that remains hidden behind its protective leaves. Both the legs and the head are revealed when an Artichoker attacks.

| Another plant-based monster, the [[Carroboscis]], also resides in Booster Pass but is not related to the Artichoker. A more powerful variant of Artichoker, known as [[Kriffid]], can be found in [[Land's End]] and [[Bean Valley]].

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *According to the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) bestiary|Monster List]] entry in most languages, the Artichoker's features are named after it and not the other way around; in Japanese and Korean, the image of its scurrying legs is said to be the origin of the word「そそくさ」(''sosokusa'') or "허둥지둥" (''heodungjidung''), meaning "hastily", and in English, Spanish, French, German, and Dutch, it is mentioned to have predated the artichoke, with Italian adding that it has existed since the dawn of time. | | *Artichoker's name comes from an [[wikipedia:Artichoke|artichoke flower]], a perennial flower native to the Mediterranean region. |
