Piranha Pests (Puropera Pakkun in Japan) are Piranha Plants species who appear in two games; Yoshi Story and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

History

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 devour and use the prey for nutrients. If anything escapes the maw of a Piranha Pest, the prey is shrunk temporarily. The only known way of defeating a Piranha Pest is by shooting it with an 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 infamous Piranha Stalks in search of food.

They have a close resemblance to the Jumping Piranha Plant and Hootie the Blue Fish.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

In this game, Petey Piranha can spit out Piranha Pests. These plants use their long tongues to swing on a Question Block, trying slam into Mario or Luigi. If they're hit with a hammer a few times, they'll be defeated.
