'''Frost Piranhas''' | '''Frost Piranhas''' are a type of [[Piranha Plant]] with a freezing bite and icy breath, generally found in similarly cold climates. They first appear in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series and later reappear in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. | ||

Frost Piranhas first appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are visually blue recolors of the game's [[Putrid Piranha]]s, and as such are larger than normal Piranha Plants and face the side, allowing them to be jumped on. Like all normal enemy Piranha Plants in the game, they burrow underground and spout up to attack. [[Mario]] first encounters Frost Piranhas while on his way to [[Starborn Valley]]. Along with being exceptionally strong, they have the ability to shoot icy blasts of breath that can [[Frozen|freeze]] Mario and his allies (although the blasts themselves will not hurt them) | Frost Piranhas first appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

Frost Piranhas | Frost Piranhas reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where they, like Putrid Piranhas, are now depicted as [[Piranha Plant#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Pale Piranha]] recolors and as such are now normal-sized and upward-facing, preventing jump attacks against them. They can be found on the way to [[Fahr Outpost]] and are slightly stronger than previously. They no longer have their icy breath attack, but their bites can freeze Mario or his partners if not [[guard]]ed against. | ||

Frost Piranhas return in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they are found in [[The Underwhere]]. This time their stalk is green like normal Piranha Plants instead of blue, and they are only found popping out of [[Warp Pipe]]s. They can attack by breathing an ice gust. Frost Piranhas sometimes drop an [[Ice Storm]] if defeated. | Frost Piranhas return in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they are found in [[The Underwhere]].
