Piranha Plorp

Piranha Plorps are Piranha Plants that have a head that resembles a human heart, and a vein as a stalk. They are found inside Bowser's body in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story encountered in the Energy Hold. They spit poison at Mario and Luigi. One of its attacks include fogging the bottom screen and spitting red and green clouds at the top screen. The color indicates which bro will get hit. The attack can be countered by using the hammer. The Piranha Plorp will also try spitting up poison at the bros. The number of gulps it makes is the number of times it will spit poison. This attack is avoided by jumping. If Mario and Luigi are hit by this attack, there is a high possibility of becoming Poisoned. Piranha Plorps are susceptible to fire, so it's recommended to use Fire Flowers against them.
