Uproot
Template:Species-infobox Uproots are enemies from Super Mario Odyssey that can be controlled with Cappy. In their natural state, Uproots have flower pots on their heads, and have red eyes. They very slightly resemble a Twirlip in their bud form from Super Mario Galaxy 2 when their flower pots are knocked off, though Uproots have a more realistic look of an onion and Twirlips have small beady eyes. They could possibly be related to Twirlips but it is unknown. They can stretch their legs to reach high places.
Uproots can be found in the Wooded Kingdom, a secret, lava-filled area in the Seaside Kingdom, and the Darker Side. In order to break the flower pots on their heads, Mario needs to throw Cappy at them, allowing him to take control of the Uproot. They can be used to reach places Mario normally couldn't reach as well as raising certain platforms. They are also needed to defeat the boss Torkdrift by smashing his orbs and his core which is his weak spot.
