Pianta

Piantas are sentient, gelatinous humanoid beings with what appear to be palm trees growing from their heads, who live on Isle Delfino. Their first appearance was in Super Mario Sunshine, in which they blame Mario for all the goop that has spread around their once pristine tropical island. They are apparently unable to distinguish between Mario and the true culprit, Shadow Mario, with whom Mario admittedly shares a strong resemblance, a notable difference being Shadow Mario's transparent blue complexion. Of course, Shadow Mario is really a different villain in disguise.

Piantas exhibit sexual dimorphism to an extent, with males often sporting a strikingly Mario-esque mustache, while females wear grass skirts.

They have also appeared in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Mario Superstar Baseball, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart DS, They have also appeared as a Sticker is Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
