Piranha Plant

The Piranha Plant is a flower species, and also a common enemy from the Super Mario series. Their appearance is that of a normal flower with a round head replacing the flower. Their heads are usually red with white spots (although they initially were green), 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, or burrow through the ground to move to different spots. Some are able to breathe fire balls.
