Piranha Plant?

This thing is weird. Piranha Plants are supposed to have a somewhat leafy stem and a spotted flower bulb for a head; the only indication that it's some sort of plant are the leaves on its head, which Mole also shares. On the times when Piranha Plants aren't grounded, usually the plant design plays with its stem as leafy limbs; this thing instead has small, animal-like limbs (two arms and two feet). Piranha Plants have a big mouth with many sharp teeth; this thing has a smaller mouth with two fangs/canines. Really the main visual similarity it has with a normal Piranha Plant is its visible lack of eyes. It is also passed up from Viridi's list of Piranha Plant variations in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (not the only one missing, e.g. Mario vs. Donkey Kong's Dōryī-like Tane Pakkun, but it seems notable as Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a direct spinoff/prequel of a mainsteam Super Mario game, and more recent games received mentions). Is it just me, or might this thing not be a Piranha Plant? Maybe misinterpreted? LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:23, November 15, 2021 (EST)
