A Putrid Piranha in Paper Mario.

Putrid Piranhas are found in Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and Super Paper Mario. The Paper Mario variety is located on Lavalava Island. The Putird Piranha looks the same in both the other two Paper Marios. These can be found in either Keelhaul Key or The Land of the Cragnons. The Putrid Pirahna is a little bigger than the average Piranha Plant. They are best known for their nasty poison breath. Their first appereance was in Jade Jungle in Paper Mario, when they attacked Kolorado.

Lavalava Island Putrid Piranha

There are two main species of Putrid Piranhas in the Marioverse (as written above). Putrid Piranhas are close relatives of the Piranha Plants. The Lavalava Island Putrid Pirahna is red with white spots and has yellow stained-teeth. Unlike most other Piranha Plants, this Putrid Pirahna can survive in the hot temperatures and conditions of Mt. Lavalava. Some of them can also live in the Jade Jungle located on Lavalava Island. During battle Putrid Piranhas can use a horrible poison breath attack. This attack will poison Mario while doing two points of damage.

Lavalava Island Stats

• HP: 12
• Attack: 3
• Defense: 0
• Location: Jade Jungle
• Tattle: This is a Putrid Piranha. Putrid Piranhas sometimes bite, but the truly scary thing is their nasty, poisonous breath. The power of their bad breath is 2, but your HP will begin to fall if you get poisoned. You should try to recover as quickly as possible if you get poisoned.

Keelhaul Key Putrid Piranha

The Putrid Piranhas that live on Keelhaul Key are a sub-species of Piranha Plant, rather than a close species. Instead of being red with white spots, they are yellow with red spots. In addition, their teeth are purple. Like their Lavalava relatives, the Putrid Piranha has glands that turn their breath into a lethal poison. Unlike their Lavalava relatives, they do not droop and are not able to live in burning temperatures.

Land of the Cragnons Putrid Piranha

Template:Catch Card These are the Putrid Piranhas that live in the Land of the Cragnons in Super Paper Mario. They look the same as the Thousand-Year Door Putrid Piranhas, however, they do not live on islands. This Putrid Piranha only comes from a pipe and will only use its poisonous breath instead of the chomp.

Land of the Cragnons Stats

• HP: 5
• Attack: 2
