Munchlesia
A Munchlesia from Paper Mario.

Munchlesia are a peculiar species of plants that are found in Paper Mario. These plants are only found and grown in Lavalava Island. Mario encounters these types of plants in Jade Jungle. Munchelesias look like giant light brown beige plants with a green center. These plants use Coins as bait. Mario should have to think twice about jumping on one when it has a single Coin, for they will attack him and he'll lose a single HP point.
