A '''Putrid Piranha''' is a poisonous [[Piranha Plant]] variant found in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.


==Design==
{{quote|"IDENTIFIED AS...MARIO! ALERT! REPORT TO BOSS! ALERT! ALERT!" 
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Putrid Piranhas resemble larger variants of their standard counterparts, being colored red with white spots and having yellow-stained teeth and a large, lolling tongue. They resemble the Piranha Plants from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', fitting with the other references to the game on the island.
|Putrid Piranha|Paper Mario}}


In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', they are redesigned to be the same size as their standard counterparts and are now colored yellow with red spots while also having purple teeth, green lips, and a blue tongue.
There are two main species of '''Putrid Piranha''' in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series. They are found in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
Just like the original [[Piranha Plant]], the ''Paper Mario'' variety is red with white spots. They are located on [[Lavalava Island]] and in the depths of [[Mt. Lavalava]]. However, the Putrid Piranhas found in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'' and ''Super Paper Mario'' are yellow with red spots. These can be found in either [[Keelhaul Key]] or [[The Land of the Cragnons]].
The Putrid Pirahna is a little bigger than the average Piranha Plant and are best known for their nasty poison breath. Their first appearance was in [[Jade Jungle]], in Paper Mario, when they attacked baby orange Yoshi.


==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Putrid Piranhas are found on [[Lavalava Island]]. They are first encountered as mini-bosses in [[Jade Jungle]], where a pair is attacking the orange [[Yoshi]] who is part of the [[Fearsome 5]], and they later appear as common enemies in [[Mt. Lavalava]] itself, where they serve as minions of the [[Lava Piranha]]. The [[Frost Piranha]], which appears later in [[Shiver Snowfield]], is an icy relative of the Putrid Piranha.


In battle, Putrid Piranhas can not only bite [[Mario]], but they are also able to breathe a cloud of poisonous breath on him, this attack doing two points of damage and [[Poison (status effect)|poison]]ing him if he fails to block it. Unlike their regular variant in [[Forever Forest]], they can safely be jumped on without the [[Spike Shield]] badge due to their heads facing forwards.
==Lavalava Island Putrid Piranha==
[[File:PutridPiranha Stats SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|left|''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''; shows information for the game]]
[[Image:Putrid_piranha2.PNG|frame|left|A Putrid Piranha in ''Paper Mario''.]]
The [[Lavalava Island]] Putrid Pirahna is red with white spots and has yellow-stained teeth. Putrid Piranhas are close relatives of the [[Piranha Plants]]. Unlike most other [[Piranha Plants]], this Putrid Pirahna can survive in the hot temperatures and conditions of [[Mt. Lavalava]]. Some of them can also live in the [[Jade Jungle]] located on [[Lavalava Island]]. During battle Putrid Piranhas can use a horrible poison breath attack. This attack will poison Mario while doing two points of damage.<br>
<br>
<br>
=== Lavalava Island Stats ===
*'''HP:''' 12
*'''Attack:''' 3
*'''Defense:''' 0
*'''Location:''' Jade Jungle
*'''Tattle:''' This is a Putrid Piranha. Putrid Piranhas sometimes bite, but the truly scary thing is their nasty, poisonous breath. The power of their bad breath is 2, but your HP will begin to fall if you get poisoned. You should try to recover as quickly as possible if you get poisoned.
*'''Moves''': Chomp (3), Disgusting Breath (2, Poison)


====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
==Keelhaul Key Putrid Piranha==
Putrid Piranhas reappear in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], where they can be found on [[Keelhaul Key]] as uncommon enemies. Unlike their previous appearance, they now stand upright, making them impossible to jump on normally unless Mario has the Spike Shield badge equipped, and are exclusively found in jungles.
The Putrid Piranhas that live on [[Keelhaul Key]] are a sub-species of Piranha Plant, rather than a close species. Instead of being red with white spots, they are yellow with red spots. In addition, their teeth are purple. Like their Lavalava relatives, the Putrid Piranha has glands that turn their breath into a lethal poison. Unlike their Lavalava relatives, they do not droop and are not able to live in burning temperatures.


====''Super Paper Mario''====
=== Keelhaul Key Stats ===
In ''Super Paper Mario'', Putrid Piranhas live in the [[Land of the Cragnons]], where they will emerge from pipes and attempt to attack with their poisonous breath. While they are exhaling their poisonous gas, Mario can damage them by jumping on their exposed head. They have a high chance of dropping items, especially [[Horsetail]]s, due to the poison status being very deadly if Mario has no items. Uniquely to this game, it is mentioned in their Tattle description that the Putrid Piranhas' poisonous nature is rumored to be a result of pollution, possibly serving as an early hint to the problem of the [[Cragnons]]' littering and explaining why the poisonous plants have come to reside in the Cragnons' land.

{{Catch Card #1
Putrid Piranhas appear in volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. When a [[White Magikoopa]] ambushes [[Mario]] and his partners in Lavalava Island, he uses Putrid Piranha plants. They bite Mario's head and let out a bad breath, poisoning Mario and [[Goombario]]. The [[Fearsome 5]], however, comes to the rescue and attack the White Magikoopa while sealing the Putrid Piranhas' mouth with tape. One of the Yoshis then defeats the White Magikoopa by using a [[Thunder Rage]] on him.

These are the Putrid Piranhas that live in the [[Land of the Cragnons]] in Super Paper Mario. They look the same as the Thousand-Year Door Putrid Piranhas, however, they do not live on islands. This Putrid Piranha only comes from a pipe and will only use its poisonous breath instead of the chomp.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Piranha Plant turns into a Putrid Piranha during its [[Poison Breath]] move, and spits poisonous gas to damage other fighters.
