'''Kriffids''' are dry-looking variants of [[Artichoker]]s in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Kriffids appear in [[Land's End]] and are often found alongside [[Geckit]]s in battle. Kriffids likely receive their name from the [[wikipedia:Triffid|Triffids]], a fictional plant species from the novel ''{{wp|The Day of the Triffids}}'', which is also referenced in their [[Thought Peek|thought]] in the remake.
