'''Uproots''' are enemies from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' that can be controlled with [[Cappy]]. In their natural state, Uproots have flower pots on their heads, and have red eyes. They are shown to resemble onions when their flower pots are knocked off. They can stretch their legs, which, according to the [[Bonneter biologist]], telescope outward, to reach high places.
'''Uproots''' are enemies that can be controlled with [[Cappy]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Their name is derived from a word referring to a plant being pulled from the ground, and their name also refers to their root-like legs. Uproots are yellow onion like creatures with red eyes. They usually have brown flowerpots over their heads with a broken opening to see from. They have green thorny legs, which, according to the [[Bonneter biologist]], telescope outward. They can use this ability to push their bodies into the air, then retract them in an instant to jump.
 
==History==
===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
Uproots can be found in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], a secret [[lava]]-filled area in the [[Seaside Kingdom]], and the [[Darker Side]]. They spawn from [[Senobi Generate Point]]s, which are dirt patches in the ground. When they notice Mario, an Uproot stretches up then leaps in Mario's direction. If they hit Mario mid-stretch, they will stop, then finish their movement. Uproots respect invisible boundaries that generally prevent them from chasing Mario too far. Uproots are immune to being jumped on, and can only be defeated with a [[Ground Pound]].
 
In most cases, Uproots have flowerpots. To capture one, [[Mario]] needs to use a [[Cap Throw]] to break the pot, allowing a second throw to capture them. If it was stretching, the Uproot will return to the ground when it is captured. A captured Uproot can be used to reach high platforms. They can break blocks and push [[movable cover]]s. Shaking the controller as an Uproot makes it stretch faster than normal, and briefly stay at a higher position before shrinking back to the normal maximum height. It can also stretch higher when two buttons are used at once. While stretched, Uproots walk more slowly than they do without stretching or by using repeated jumps. An Uproot (captured or not) can defeat other Uproots by [[stomping]] them, as though a Ground Pound was used.
 
An Uproot is required to defeat [[Torkdrift]], a boss in the Wooded Kingdom, with its stretching power needed to reach the boss's weak points and strike from below. The height from stretching is also necessary to dodge one of Torkdrift's attacks. As such, an Uproot also appears in the rematch against the boss in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]].


A concept design for Uproots depicted them as mushroom type enemies. More concepts for Uproots were partially based on [[Pokey]]s and [[Bramball]]s.<ref>{{cite|date=October 22, 2019|title=''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]''|location=Milwaukie, Oregon|publisher=[[Dark Horse Comics]]|isbn=978-1-50671-375-5|page=146}}</ref>
Uproots can be found in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], a secret, lava-filled area in the [[Seaside Kingdom]], and the [[Darker Side]]. In order to break the flower pots on their heads, [[Mario]] needs to throw Cappy at them, allowing him to take control of the Uproot. They can be used to reach places Mario normally could not reach as well as raising certain platforms. They are also needed to defeat the boss [[Torkdrift]] through smashing both blocks and the boss's core.
