(I'd like to have confirmation that it's parsed as more than one word, first......also why does the wiki not currently consider these things Piranha Plants? Seems like a pretty obvious connection to me...)

'''Venus Flower Traps''' are enemies that only appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They only appear in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]] and the [[Honeyhop Galaxy]]. Venus Flower Traps resemble flowers and can be used as platforms, but if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] steps on one of these, it will soon close up, devouring any object on it. If Mario or Luigi is swallowed, he will lose a wedge of health. Venus Flower Traps are usually airborne or floating over shallow ponds. After snapping shut for a few seconds, it reopens and can be used again. They resemble [[Piranha Plant]]s because they look similar when they close their mouth. One can avoid lasting damage from these, though. If a coin is floating above it, one can get trapped by the flower and spat into the coin, having full health but still flashing red from damage. Since no power-ups can defeat them, Venus Flower Traps are invincible.

Trapdragons[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their name is a portmanteau of "trap" and "snapdragon." They appear only in the Honeybloom Galaxy and Honeyhop Galaxy. Trapdragons resemble pink flowers and can be used as platforms, but if Mario or Luigi steps on one of these, it soon closes up, devouring the object on it. If the player character is swallowed, he loses a wedge of health. Trapdragons are usually airborne or floating over shallow ponds. After snapping shut for a few seconds, a Trapdragon reopens and can be used again. One can avoid lasting damage from Trapdragons, though. If a coin is floating above a Trapdragon, one can get trapped by the flower and spat into the coin, having full health but still flashing red from damage. Since no power-ups can defeat them, Trapdragons are invincible.
