Piraneapple

Piraneapple is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Piraneapple is a large pineapple with razor-sharp teeth, large eyes with big pupils, and a tail fin-like stem growing out its back.

Behaviour

Piraneapple is spawned by Pineapple Monster, after which it chases the player, flying through the walls, and hitting the player upon contact. It can be killed with a parry or the Shotgun transformation. This is one of the few enemies who can't get scared.

Piraneapples also appear when touching Dangerous Water to attack the player as a visual.

Appears in

• Crust Cove (hazard)
• Oh Shit! (hazard)
• Don't Make A Sound
• The Crumbling Tower of Pizza

Pre-release

Piraneapples have had different behaviours during development before settling on its current behaviour.

Early Test Build

In the files of Early Test Build, Piraneapple swam back and forth slowly using their calm animation. If one were to somehow trigger its angry form, it would chomp forwards with the ability to swim anywhere within water.

Halloween Demo

Piraneapples had a idle state where it would stay in place until the player got close after which it would start chasing them and was also able to fly wherever it wanted and go through walls whilst chasing them.

Beach and Forest

In the 'Beach and Forest' build, Piraneapples would chomp around, and it could be defeated only with a parry or some of the transformations.

Trivia

This section is dedicated to trivia and miscellaneous information about Piraneapple.
Remember to read the wiki's trivia guidelines before adding trivia or making changes.

• Despite being one of the earliest enemies made, seen as far back as the unused water level, they didn't make a proper demo appearance until Demo 1.
• The Piraneapples summoned by the Pineapple Monster on Don't Make A Sound aren't the actual enemy, but rather just reskins of the missiles shot by Cardboard Tanks.
  • Despite this, prior to the Noise Update, killing Piraneapples would count towards the combo, although they would not count towards the Super Taunt nor give points.
