Lava Piranha

“	WE MAKE THINGS HOT FOR YOU! WE BEAT YOU, MARIO!	„
	~ Lava Piranha

Background

A Lava Piranha is a Venus Fire Trap capable of living in lava. One appears as the boss of Chapter 5 in Paper Mario, and bears some resemblance to the boss Naval Piranha from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, except smaller and with fewer buds and tendrils, and inhabits lava instead of water. The Lava Piranha has a large tongue and white ring markings instead of filled white spots on its head, like typical Piranha Plants.
