Piranha Plant

The Piranha Plant is an enemy from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. It only appears in the side scrolling elements of the game and is easily defeated with a sword. It first appeared in Super Mario Bros and is incorporated into the flora of Koholint Island as a reference to these games. Their only attack pattern is to rise from their pipes and return into them. They do not spit fireballs, as some of them do in the Mario games.
