Bungee Piranha

Bungee Piranhas (also called Bungee Piranha Plants) are purple Piranha Plants that first appear in Yoshi's Island DS. These Piranha Plants are always seen hanging from ceilings and if anyone is to walk underneath one, it will lunge down and attempt to swallow them pulling them upward. Bungee Piranhas aren't very durable however and can be beaten with most attacks.
==History==
===Yoshi's Island DS===
Bungee Piranhas first appear in Yoshi's Island DS, in this game, they appear as uncommon enemies found in several levels. They are often seen hanging from the roofs until Yoshi comes along at which point the Bungee Piranha will lunge down in an attempt to swallow him, if the Bungee Piranha succeeds, it will swallow Yoshi and the baby pulling them upward immediately spitting the baby out and then Yoshi soon after (which forces Yoshi to retrieve the baby) after spitting out Yoshi, the Bungee Piranha has a couple seconds where it rests before making another attempt at Yoshi, if it misses, Yoshi, the Bungee Piranha will slowly drag itself upward tiredly and wait a few seconds after reaching the top before attempting to swallow Yoshi again. Bungee Piranhas are sometimes required to reach higher ledges making being swallowed by them necessary in some cases, sometimes however, the Bungee Piranhas can sometimes pull you up to a more inconvenient route causing you to miss some key collectibles. Most of the time however, Bungee Piranhas are a mere hinderance however despite this, they can be beaten with egg tosses (which causes them to appear in the Botanical Enemy Exhibit of the Island Museum) they can be found in Yoshi on Stilts, Big Bungee Piranha's Lair, Slip Slidin' Away, The Cave That Never Ends, Superhard Acorbatics, Return of the Moving Chomp Rock!, Yikes! Boiling Hot!, Moving Statues, Standing Statues, and Let There Be Light!. 
The boss of World 2 is the Big Bungee Piranha, a Bungee Piranha that was enlarged by Kamek's magic, he is aided by two Bungee Buds.
==Trivia==
*Bungee Piranhas strongly resemble Prickly Piranha Plants and Piranha Creepers which debuted in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World respectively.
*Due to hanging upside down, it is possible that Bungee Piranhas are a type of Hanging Piranha Plant.
