M. Bushes are bushy enemies found on Lavalava Island in Paper Mario. Much like Hurt Plants, they pretend to be ordinary bushes, but will ambush and attack Mario when he examines them. However, unlike Hurt Plants, M. Bushes can be told apart from harmless bushes by their stouter shape and lighter color. They have a low Attack Power and no Defense Power, but have a 45% chance of poisoning Mario with their bite, and usually attack in groups.

A group of M. Bushes traps one of the Fearsome 5 in a tree, and Mario must fight them in order to rescue him.

Tattle This is an M. Bush. M. Bushes pretend to be bushes and wait for unwary prey. Max HP: 8, Attack Power: 3, Defense Power: 0 Their bites are sometimes poisonous, so be careful. If you get poisoned, your HP will gradually fall. Your situation could become critical unless you restore your HP as soon as possible. Let's clear 'em out quickly, OK? Use your most powerful attack, why don't you?

Field Tattle[edit]

  • M. Bush. This bizarre creature is only found in the jungles of Lavalava Island. It pretends to be a bush, but it's actually a hunter waiting to surprise prey. I don't wanna be prey. Do you?

Player's Guide profile[edit]

  • M. Bush has taken a page from the Hurt Plant's book and disguised itself as a harmless pile of leaves. It can dish out a large dose of poison with a single bite, so take care.[1]

Naming[edit]

"M. Bush" is a pun on "ambush", since "M." is probably an abbreviation of "monster bush".
