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

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. Due to their forward-facing head, they can be safely jumped upon in this game. 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. 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 [[Orange Yoshi|Orange]] [[Baby Yoshi]]. The [[Frost Piranha]] uses recolored Putrid Piranha graphics.

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 stand upright, making them impossible to jump on normally, and are not known to live in burning temperatures. They are also no longer larger than their relatives and lack a noticeable tongue, due to now being recolors of regular [[Pale Piranha]]s.

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.
