A '''Putrid Piranha''' is a [[Piranha Plant]] with a poisonous bite and poisonous breath, found in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.

==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
The Putrid Piranhas of ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are found on [[Lavalava Island]]. These Putrid Piranhas are red with white spots and have yellow-stained teeth. Putrid Piranhas are close relatives of the [[Piranha Plant]]s, but are distinctly larger, and have lolling tongues. Their size, posture, teeth, and tongues make them resemble the Piranha Plants from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', fitting with the other references to the game on the island. Due to their forward-facing head, unlike their regular variant in [[Forever Forest]], they can safely be jumped on without the [[Spike Shield]] badge. Some of them appear as mini-bosses in the [[Jade Jungle]] located on Lavalava Island, while they appear as common enemies in [[Mt. Lavalava]] itself, where they work for the [[Lava Piranha]] who lives there. During battle, Putrid Piranhas can use a poison breath attack, which [[Poison (status effect)|poisons]] Mario while doing two points of damage. In Jade Jungle, a few of them attack the orange [[Baby Yoshi]]. The [[Frost Piranha]], which appears later in [[Shiver Snowfield]], is an icy relative of the Putrid Piranha.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Putrid Piranhas reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where they can be found on [[Keelhaul Key]] as uncommon enemies. They are no longer larger than their relatives, now being recolors of regular [[Piranha Plant#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Pale Piranha]]s. Relating to this, instead of being red with white spots, they are yellow with red spots. In addition, they have purple teeth, green lips, and a blue tongue. Unlike the previous ones, they stand upright, making them impossible to jump on normally (unless Mario has the Spike Shield badge equipped), and are not shown living in burning temperatures.
 
====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Putrid Piranhas live in the [[Land of the Cragnons]] and look the same as in the previous game. Here, they emerge from pipes and will only attack with their poisonous breath. These Putrid Piranhas have a high chance of dropping items, especially [[Horsetail]]s due to the poison status being very deadly if the player has no items. It is possible to stomp it when it is exhaling the poisonous gas by jumping on its exposed head. Uniquely to this game, it is mentioned in their Tattle description that Putrid Piranhas' poisonous nature is rumored to be a result of pollution, possibly serving as an early hint to the problem of the [[Cragnons]]' littering and explaining why the poisonous plants have come to reside in the Cragnons' land.


There are two main species of '''Putrid Piranha''' in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series. They are found in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.  
===''Super Mario-Kun''===
[[File:PutridPiranha SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|left|''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'']]
Putrid Piranhas appear in volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. When a [[White Magikoopa]] ambushes [[Mario]] and his partners in Lavalava Island, he uses Putrid Piranha plants. They bite Mario's head and let out a bad breath, poisoning Mario and [[Goombario]]. The [[Fearsome 5]], however, comes to the rescue and attack the White Magikoopa while sealing the Putrid Piranhas' mouth with tape. One of the Yoshis then defeats the White Magikoopa by using a [[Thunder Rage]] on him.


Just like the original [[Piranha Plant]], the ''Paper Mario'' variety is red with white spots. They are located on [[Lavalava Island]] and in the depths of [[Mt. Lavalava]]. However, the Putrid Piranhas found in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'' and ''Super Paper Mario'' are yellow with red spots. These can be found in either [[Keelhaul Key]] or [[The Land of the Cragnons]].
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
The Putrid Piranha is a little bigger than the average Piranha Plant and are best known for their nasty poison breath. Their first appearance was in [[Jade Jungle]], in ''Paper Mario'', when they attacked [[Baby Yoshi|baby]] [[Orange Yoshi|orange Yoshi]].
[[File:Putrid Piranha SSBU.jpg|thumb]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Piranha Plant turns into a Putrid Piranha during its [[Poison Breath]] move, and spits poisonous gas to damage other fighters. It is also mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for Piranha Plant.

The Putrid Piranhas of ''Paper Mario'' are found on [[Lavalava Island]]. These Putrid Piranhas are red with white spots and have yellow-stained teeth. Putrid Piranhas are close relatives of the [[Piranha Plant]]s.  Unlike most other Piranha Plants, this Putrid Piranha can survive in the hot temperatures and conditions of [[Mt. Lavalava]]. Some of them also appear as mini-bosses in the [[Jade Jungle]] located on Lavalava Island. During battle Putrid Piranhas can use a poison breath attack. This attack [[Poison (status effect)|poisons]] Mario while doing two points of damage.

Putrid Piranhas reappear in the sequel of ''Paper Mario'' as well and can be found on [[Keelhaul Key]] as uncommon enemies. 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.

These are the Putrid Piranhas that live in the [[Land of the Cragnons]] in ''Super Paper Mario''. They look the same as the Putrid Piranhas from the previous game. This Putrid Piranha emerges from pipes and will only use its poisonous breath instead of the chomp. These Putrid Piranhas have a high chance of dropping items, especially [[Horsetail]]s due to the poison status being very deadly if the player has no items. It is possible to stomp it when it is exhaling the poisonous gas by jumping on its exposed head.
