Description
Paras
Burrows under the ground to gnaw on tree roots. The mushrooms on its back absorb most of the nutrition.
The mushrooms, known as tochukaso, are controlling the bug. Even if the bug bugs the mushrooms, they tell it to bug off.
Whether it’s due to a lack of moisture or a lack of nutrients, in Alola the mushrooms on Paras don’t grow up quite right.
