Piranah Plants

[Rex]

Uhhhh, you seid that allready.
We get the point.

[Yoshi Master]

I was clarifying for Black Yoshi.

[Meta Black Yoshi]

Why? I alredy knew that....Anyway.........

[Meta Black Yoshi]

The yellow arrows indicate when a new separate plant is formed and the green ones indicate that the same plant is going into a different stage of growing.


Basicaly the plant starts out as a nipper spore, then turns into a nipper plant upon hitting a surface. Then the nipper plant hops around looking for a suitable spot to live out the rest of its life. When it finds a good spot it roots in and becomes piranah sprout. If there is no suitable soil around or the plant happens to be in a piranah plant dense area and the nipper plant needs more time to find a good spot it will instead turn into a piranah pest to give it more time and ability to find the right spot. When the piranah pest finally finds the right spot it will root in and become a piranah sprout. If a piranha pest is old enough and has found a spot like a pipe that doesn't require it to root in in order to secure the spot it may become a jumping piranha plant for a while giving it a better chance at catching food. When the sprout has reached maturity it will turn into a nipper dandelion. When all its spores are gone a new bud will start to grow in place. The piranha plant will cycle through the dandelion, bud, flower process until it becomes a full grown adult.


This might be a good time to point out that most nippers have eyes. That is probably how the piranha plants see and how petty piranah sees. We just haven't noticed them on older ones be cause they are camouflaged to look like the white spots.


Also. Since piranha buds are basically harmless and helpless, piranha plants will sometimes shrink themselves down to mimic a piranha bud and when something comes near revert to normal size and attack. This helps protect piranhas buds and helps piranha plants to get food all at the same time.



Here's the pic.

I don't think a piranaha plant can go into a nipper dandylion then back into a piranaha plant. -_-

[Meta Black Yoshi]

Then where do piranah buds come from? If you compare they are actualy a lot smaller than nipper plants.

It's just like the life cycle of a dandelion. Minus the big spiked version. Although. You never know, maby we just havn't been letting are dandelions grow big enough. :/

[L.D.]

Your diargram shows that the dandylion goes into a piranaha plant without buds.

[Meta Black Yoshi]

It just dosn't show the bud form again. I would have drew it in but I ran out of space. That's why I explained it in the post right after the post after the pic.

[Rex]

That is a good theory, even if you did post six times in a row.
By the way, why did you put naval pirahna in the life cycle of a pirahna plant?

[L.D.]

thats the adult piranaha plant I asume ;D.

Ever played yoshi's story, there was giant piranaha plants that looked like naval just without the bud

[Yoshi Master]

Yoink.

[Meta Black Yoshi]

Hmm. Never saw that movie, but I still think they grow like regular dandelions. I also wanted to add that at any time in the plant's post nipper life cycle it can creat a limited amount of seeds even if not in dandelion form.

[Rex]

So now that we've got the life-cycle of a pirahna plant down pat, we should start talking about how they launch fireballs.

[Meta Black Yoshi]

Their seeds are coated with a combustable coating that, when combined with oxygen, bust into flame.

[Rex]

No no no, nipper spores are there seeds. If there seeds burst into flames whenever they came into contact with air, there would be no pirahna plants left.

[L.D.]

I think that we talked about this before. They have like a chemical or something that bursts into flame upon contact with the air

[Rex]

Yes, you did talk about it before. I'm bringing it up now because I wasn't there to argue that if all the pirahna plants seeds lit up on fire, pirahna plants would become extinct.

[PDoogan]

A lot of creatures make fireballs. Should we come up with a generic awnser for all of them or individual reason why the can spit fire?

Also, you forgot to mention stretch piranhas and piranha planets from PiT, but I think those were created by the shroobs.

elastic piranaha. I think they might have been there, we have never been to toadwood forest befroe

[Rex]

Anyway, let's toss around theorys why they breath fire. we still don't have a suttible answer yet.
