Artichokers are enemies in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They are strange, plant-like enemies resembling artichokes, are are only encountered at Booster Pass. Outside of battle, Artichokers resemble shrubs that may hold items, but if Mario checks a wrong shrub, an Artichoker attacks.

Battle

In battle, Artichokers can attack physically but can use strong spells such as Static E!. They can even use a spraying move that may poison someone on Mario's team. Artichokers have the ability to heal themselves, possibly due to being plants.

Strategy

Artichokers are weak to both Jump and Fire moves so Mario is by far the best choice against the Artichokers. Wearing an Antidote Pin or bring Able Juices to the battle will help against any poisoning.
