The Piranha Plant (Known as Planta Piraña in Spanish) is a flower species, and also a common enemy from the Super Mario series. There appearance is that of a normal flower with a round head replacing the flower. Their heads are usually red with white spots, but they can come in a variety of colors, which occasionally affects their abilities. They are most commonly found in pipes, but have also appeared growing freely in the ground. While most are stationary, a select few have mutated, allowing them to freely walk around. Some are able to breath fire balls.
