Red-and-yellow mushrooms known as [[tochukaso]] grow on this Pokémon's back. The mushrooms can be removed at any time, and grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its mother's back. Tochukaso are parasitic in nature, drawing their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow and exerting some command over the Pokémon's actions. For example, Paras drains nutrients from tree roots due to commands from the mushrooms. The mushrooms are also popular among collectors and have medicinal uses, usually involving extended life.

Paras can often be found in caves, but can also thrive in damp {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}} with high amounts of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi. It is also very timid as [[EP044|shown in the anime]] when it runs away from a battle with a {{TP|Ash|Charmeleon}}.
