A '''Kriffid''' is a powerful plant-like enemy that is found in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' which closely resembles the [[Artichoker]]. The only difference is that a Kriffid is brown while an Artichoker is green. Kriffids are located in [[Land's End]]. They 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 ''The Day of the Triffids''.
