'''Piranha Pests''' are [[Piranha Plant]]s that appear in two games: ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.

In ''Yoshi's Story'', Piranha Pests each simply resemble the bud of a Piranha Plant with a propeller instead of a stem or stalk. They fly in rectangular patterns very similar to those of [[Propeller Piranha|Hootie the Blue Fish]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', though they do not follow the edges of walls. They have tongues almost as long as a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s, but instead of making eggs, they attempt to swallow the Yoshi and shrink it temporarily. When the Yoshi is shrunk, no [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]s can be used. Piranha Pests can be defeated with a Yoshi egg only when the Yoshi is in normal size. As with their relatives, they are found in [[Piranha Grove]].
In ''Yoshi's Story'', Piranha Pests simply resemble the bud of a Piranha Plant with a propeller instead of a stem or stalk. They have tongues almost as long as a Yoshi's, but instead of making eggs, they attempt to swallow the [[Baby Yoshi]] and shrink it temporarily. They can only be defeated with a [[Yoshi Egg]].
 
Piranha Pests are an exotic variation of Piranha Plant indigenous to Stage 4-3, [[Piranha Grove]]. They appear to weave in and out of the many large Piranha Plants in search of food.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', [[Petey Piranha]] can spit out Piranha Pests (referred to in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] as "'''plant-pendulums'''").<ref>{{cite|author=Hoffman, Chris|title=''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' Player's Guide|page=53|date=November 18, 2005|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-006-9|quote=When Petey uses his plant-pendulum, a block appears on the top screen with the initial of one of the bros on it. Knock the attack back with the appropriate bro's hammer, then alternate between bros, using hammer strikes to bust the pendulum.}}</ref> These plants use their long tongues to swing on a [[block]], trying to slam into [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. If they are hit with a [[hammer]] a few times, they will be defeated.
