'''Petit Piranhas''' are [[Lava Piranha|Lava Piranhas]] at their youngest state. Only juvenile Lava Piranhas (known as [[Lava Bud|Lava Buds]]) are known to reproduce. The seed-like spores they launch are lit at removal of the Lava Bud mouth. Petit Piranhas are able to attack immediately after released, so Lava Buds will fire Petit Piranhas if in danger. A Petit Piranha is very powerful, but dies easily, so Lava Piranha patches are very hard to come across.

Petit Piranhas are enemies in Paper Mario. They are fiery Nipper Spore-like creatures. Lava Buds branching off from a Lava Piranha's main stem are known to produce Petit Piranhas; the seed-like spores they launch are lit upon exiting their mouths. Petit Piranhas are able to attack immediately after being released, so Lava Buds will fire Petit Piranhas if in danger. A Petit Piranha has a very high attack rating of 6, but they explode after making contact with Mario and company, no longer being on the battlefield. Additionally, Petit Piranhas, along with Tuff Puffs and Crystal Bits, have lower HP than any other enemy in the game. Along with the Lava Buds, they will be automatically defeated after the Lava Piranha itself has been defeated.
