Editing Artichoker

{{:Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars bestiary|transcludesection=Artichoker|align=right}}
An '''Artichoker''' is an {{wp|artichoke}}-like monster that resembles an ordinary shrub, appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. However, it has tiny legs instead of roots, allowing it to move. 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. Artichokers can be found in [[Booster Pass]], where most of the time they remain stationary, appearing to be normal shrubs.

In battle, the Artichoker's leaves form a barrier that protect its head, giving the Artichoker high physical defense. Also, an Artichoker has two primary attacks when engaged in combat. The first is causing damage by scuttling around on its feet. An Artichoker can also shoot bubbles that cause damage on contact. Additionally, the Artichoker can use the lightning attack [[Static E!]], and spray chemicals to [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] Mario and his party. If an Artichoker is hit with a special attack, it will use Recover to heal itself or other enemies on the battlefield.

Artichokers are relatives of the [[Kriffid]]s. Another plant-based monster, the [[Carroboscis]], also resides in Booster Pass but is not related to the Artichoker.

-==Notes==
+{{Super Mario RPG}}
-*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.
