The piranha plants from the Mario video games were one of the most frustrating parts of the entire game (I know you know what I’m talking about). They were easy to get around but sometimes managed to clip your behind and cost you a life.
DeviantART user Kalapusa has constructed a life-sized version of the well-recognized piranha plant. This very creepy recreation is made acrylics, clay, and a wire skeleton. It is way to real to be standing in a garden somewhere.
Next thing you know the piranha plant will be shooting fire at pedestrians!
