Paras is an orange, insectoid creature resembling the nymph stage of a {{wp|cicada}}. Its ovoid body is segmented, and it has six 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.

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}}.


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}}.

Paras is featured in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' under the ownership of [[Cassandra]]. It is extremely weak, but Cassandra needed it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Parasect}} so she can use the giant mushroom to aid in her medical research. It does so towards the end of the episode.

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.
