Putrid Piranha



There are two species of Putrid Piranha: the Lavalava Island variety and the Keelhaul Key variety. This does not include the Land of the Cragnons variety.

Lavalava Island Putrid Piranha
There are two main Putrid Piranhas in the Marioverse (as said above). Putrid Piranhas are close relatives of Piranha Plants. The Lavalava Island Putrid Pirahna is red with white spots. Also, this variety of Putrid Pirahna can either live in Jade Jungle or Mt. Lavalava. They can live in very hot temperatures and conditions inside the volcano. These conditions cause them to droop with their tongue sticking out. During battle Putrid Piranhas can use a 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
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
 * Defense: 0
 * Card Number: 58
 * Card Rarity: *
 * Location: Land of the Cragnons
