===Physiology===
[[File:Paras Mushroom.png|thumb|left|200px|Paras removing its {{wp|tochukaso}}]]
[[File:Paras Mushroom.png|thumb|left|Paras removing its {{wp|tochukaso}}]]
Paras is an orange, insectoid creature resembling the nymph stage of a {{wp|cicada}}. Its ovoid body is segmented, and it has three pairs of legs. The foremost pair of legs is the largest and has sharp claws at the tips. There are five specks on its forehead and three teeth on either side of its mouth. It has circular eyes with large pupils.
Paras is a {{wp|coconut crab}}-shaped insectoid creature, with the unique feature of having mushrooms known as {{wp|Caterpillar fungus|tochukaso}} growing from its back. They grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its parent's back. The tochukaso can be removed at any time.
 
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. The mushrooms are also the source of its former [[signature move]], {{m|Spore}}.
 
[[EP006|The anime]] has shown that Paras can often be found in caves. However, it can also thrive in damp {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. In the [[Alola]] region, the mushrooms on its back do not grow well. This thought to be from a lack of moisture or nutrients.
 
==In the anime==
[[File:Paras Nidoran f Nidoran m M20.png|thumb|250px|left|Paras in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
A Paras appeared in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', under the ownership of [[Cassandra]]. It is extremely weak, but Cassandra needed it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Parasect so she could use its giant mushroom to aid her in her medical research. It did so towards the end of the episode.
 
===Minor appearances===
Paras debuted in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', where a group of Paras can be briefly seen removing the mushrooms on their backs. [[Seymour]] explained that this behavior was due to someone stringing lights in the caves of Mt. Moon, and implied that this was not good for them.


Though tochukaso are parasitic in nature, Paras manages to make use of the mushrooms by creating a semi-symbiotic relationship; the mushrooms draw their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow, and Paras is able to use the mushrooms spores along with its own pincers for self-defense.
A Paras appeared in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. It was one of the Pokémon in [[Melanie]]'s care. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.


Paras may have fairly long life spans, because the tochukaso is known for having properties that are beneficial for longevity.
A Paras appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' as one of the Pokémon seen on [[Scissor Street]].


The mushrooms on Paras's back are often prized by collectors.
A Paras appeared in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''.

===Special abilities===
A Paras appeared in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' as one of the Pokémon seen at the [[Pokémon Theme Park]].
The mushrooms growing out of its back will release irritating spores that can paralyze, poison, or put to sleep.


===Behavior===
Multiple Paras appeared in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', where they were among the Pokémon living at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
The mushrooms on its back have a very commanding influence over Paras and order it to extract juice from tree trunks. It is also very timid as shown in the anime when it runs away from a battle with a {{TP|Ash|Charmeleon|Charizard}}.


===Habitat===
Two Paras of the {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Valencian Pokémon|Valencia Island variant}} appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Paras can often be found in caves, since sunlight and dry air hurt their skin. They can also thrive in damp forests with high amounts of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi. It is most commonly found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but occasionally can be found in [[Sinnoh]] as well.


===Diet===
A {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Pink Pokémon|pink}} Paras appeared in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]'' as a resident of [[Pinkan Island]].
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It is unknown if Paras eats regular food in the wild or if it gets all of its nutrients from the roots that it sucks, though most of the food is absorbed by the mushrooms on its back.


==In the anime==

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Paras's name was originally "Parasyte". The name was probably abandoned because it was also the official English name of an {{wp|Parasyte|extremely graphic Japanese horror comic}}.
* Early English promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]] listed Paras's name as ''Parasyte''.
* Paras is the only Pokémon with a total [[EV yield]] of 1 to evolve at a fixed [[level]] directly into a Pokémon with an EV yield of 3, {{p|Parasect}}. In [[Generation II]], the 1 EV yielding {{p|Slowpoke}}, who previously only evolved at Level 37 into the 2 EV yielding {{p|Slowbro}}, gained the ability to evolve directly into the 3 EV yielding {{p|Slowking}} when traded with a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}, and in [[Generation IV]] the 1 EV yielding {{p|Nosepass}} was given the 3 EV yielding direct evolution {{p|Probopass}} when gaining a level in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* In [[Generation I]], {{t|Poison}} attacks are super effective against {{t|Bug}}, making Paras and {{p|Parasect}} the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses.
* In [[Generation I]], {{t|Poison}} attacks are super effective against {{t|Bug}}, making Paras and {{p|Parasect}} the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses or double weakness to Poison.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Paras and its evolution.
* Due to the ability {{a|Dry Skin}}, Paras and {{p|Parasect}} are also the only Pokémon to have a 5× weakness (to {{t|Fire}}).
* Paras and Parasect share their species name with {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[egg group]] combination as Paras and {{p|Parasect|its evolution}}.
* Paras can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Morelull}}. Both share the {{t|Grass}} type, the same base stat total of 285, evolve at Level 24, both are mushroom-based Pokemon and thus can learn {{m|Spore}}, and both can be found in the wild in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], taking the place of the other depending on the [[time]], with Paras being found during the day and Morelull at night.
* In Finnish, Paras means "the best".
* In the 1.0 release of the English versions of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the [[Pokédex]] entry of Paras refers to it as '''BUG POKéMON'''. In the 1.1 release, this was modified to mention '''BUG/GRASS POKéMON''' instead. The Pokédex entry in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} says '''Bug Pokémon''' like Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire version 1.0, however.
* Paras and its evolved form, {{p|Parasect}}, share their species name with {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** These are also the only Pokémon that can have the ability {{a|Effect Spore}} without having come from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}.
* Paras can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Shroomish}}. Both of them are {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Paras is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], while Shroomish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], with both Pokémon found in a [[Mass Outbreak]] in {{rt|11|Unova|the same location}} in their respective versions. Additionally, both are based on fungi.

{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Paras and Parasect}}
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Paras and Parasect}}
There are many forms of fungus that grow on insects, any one of which could have inspired Paras's design, like the ''{{wp|Entomophthora muscae}}'', which grows on the back of the common {{wp|housefly}}. As for the insect itself, it bears a resemblance to a cicada larva, more so than {{p|Nincada}}.  
The fungus on Paras is identified as [[tochukaso]], an {{wp|Parasitoid|endoparasitoid}} that replaces the host tissue and can affect the behavior of its insect host. The base insect appears to be a {{wp|cicada}} {{wp|nymph (biology)|nymph}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Paras's name is a shortening of the word ''{{wp|parasite}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} growing on its back.
Paras is a shortening of ''{{wp|Parasitism|parasite}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} growing on its back.
