Flytraps[1] appear as enemies in the Luigi's Mansion series, where they are large, man-eating creatures. Like Piranha Plants, they are based on the real Venus flytrap, though these are more accurate to the plant's real appearance aside from the presence of eyes, the size, and the lack of flowers.
History[edit ]
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon[edit ]
In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon , flytraps are found in the Haunted Towers and Treacherous Mansion. They attack Luigi and do about ten HP of damage by swallowing him whole when they see him. They can be stunned for a brief time with the Strobulb, but they are otherwise unaffected by Luigi's normal means of attack. To defeat them, Luigi needs to pull a spiky fruit off a nearby plant by using his Poltergust 5000 and shoot it at the plant, which then eats it and dies. In the Treacherous Mansion, the same strategy can also be used with a burning chicken to get 20 bills (100G) upon killing one of these plants in the Kitchen.
Luigi's Mansion 3[edit ]
In Luigi's Mansion 3 , flytraps appear exclusively during the battle against Dr. Potter, where they can be defeated by cutting their stems with a buzzsaw.
