An '''Artichoker''' is an {{wp|artichoke}}-like monster that resembles an ordinary shrub, appearing in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. However, it has tiny legs instead of roots, allowing it to move. The plant creature also has a fish-like head that remains hidden behind its leaves. Both the legs and the head are revealed when an Artichoker attacks. Artichokers can be found in [[Booster Pass]], where most of the time they remain stationary, appearing to be normal shrubs.


An '''Artichoker''' is a plant-like monster that can be found in [[Booster Pass]]. This creature resembles an ordinary shrub. However, an Artichoker has tiny legs instead of roots, allowing the plant to move. The plant creature also has a head (that resembles a bullfrog) that remains hidden behind its protective leaves. Both the legs and the head are revealed when an Artichoker attacks.
Also, an Artichoker has two primary attacks when engaged in combat. The first is causing damage by scuttling around on its feet. It can also shoot bubbles that cause damage on contact. Additionally, Artichokers can use the lightning attack [[Static Electricity]] or poison party members with [[Stench]]. If an Artichoker is hit with a special attack, it will use Recover to heal itself or other enemies on the battlefield.


Most of the time, Artichokers will remain stationary, appearing to be a normal shrubs. This is, in fact, a clever survival mechanism that allows the Artichokers to prey on unsuspecting travelers. Since items can sometimes be found in shrubs, an unlucky adventurer may accidentally stumble across an Artichoker, instead of treasure. After falling for the deception, the adventurer will have to fight the plant monster in combat. Unfortunately for the traveler, Artichokers prove to be very tough opponents.
Another plant-based monster, the [[Carroboscis]], also resides in Booster Pass but is not related to the Artichoker. A more powerful variant of Artichoker, known as [[Kriffid]], can be found in [[Land's End]] and [[Bean Valley]].


In battle, the Artichoker's leaves form a barrier that protect the monster's head, giving the Artichoker high physical defense. Also, an Artichoker has two primary attacks when engaged in combat. The first is causing damage by scuttling around on its tiny feet. An Artichoker can also shoot bubbles that cause damage on contact. Additionally, the Artichoker can use the lightning attack [[Static E!]], and spray chemicals to [[Poison]] unlucky travelers.

An Artichoker is an artichoke-like monster that resembles an ordinary shrub, appearing in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. However, it has tiny legs instead of roots, allowing it to move. The plant creature also has a fish-like head that remains hidden behind its leaves. Both the legs and the head are revealed when an Artichoker attacks. Artichokers can be found in Booster Pass, where most of the time they remain stationary, appearing to be normal shrubs.

Also, an Artichoker has two primary attacks when engaged in combat. The first is causing damage by scuttling around on its feet. It can also shoot bubbles that cause damage on contact. Additionally, Artichokers can use the lightning attack Static Electricity or poison party members with Stench. If an Artichoker is hit with a special attack, it will use Recover to heal itself or other enemies on the battlefield.

Another plant-based monster, the Carroboscis, also resides in Booster Pass but is not related to the Artichoker. A more powerful variant of Artichoker, known as Kriffid, can be found in Land's End and Bean Valley.
