Petit Piranha

Petit Piranhas are Lava Piranhas at their youngest state, appearing in Paper Mario. Only Lava Buds branching off from a Lava Piranha's main stem are known to produce Petit Piranhas; the seed-like spores they launch are lit upon exiting their mouths. Petit Piranhas are able to attack immediately after being released, so Lava Buds will fire Petit Piranhas if in danger. A Petit Piranha has a very high attack rating of 6, but they explode after making contact with Mario and company, no longer being on the battlefield.

Trivia

 * Petit Piranhas, along with Tuff Puffs and Crystal Bits, have lower HP than any other enemy in the game.
