Added DiffLines:

* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}:'' Comes in two flavors; Piranhamon, and [=MetallicPiranhamon=], which came first, and is a cyborg. True to the depiction, they attack other Digimon in swarms and eat them. Did we mention [=MetallicPiranhamon=] is a [[OlympusMons Mega level]]?

Added DiffLines:

* Deliberately invoked by the design of the ''[[https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Piranha Piranha]]'' [[HumongousMecha BattleMech]] from ''TabletopGame/BattleTech''. One ''Piranha'' alone is capable of shredding entire platoons of infantry in seconds thanks to its [[MoreDakka twelve .50-cal machine guns]]. An entire ''Star'' of these things working in concert? That's the kind of chattering death that will bring down some heavy and assault 'Mechs via DeathOfAThousandCuts, or utterly annihilate a small city's worth of people in bare minutes.

* Piranha are also a treat for many predators: botos (Amazon river dolphins), giant river otters, caimans, arowanas, viperfish, and many fishing birds eat them like popcorn. Humans eat them, too: they’re a reasonably common catch in the Amazon Basin and can be found at most Amazonian fish markets. (They apparently taste great fried—[[DeepFriedWhatever of course]]—or grilled, garnished with a bit of lemon.) It's funny how the most dreaded predator of the Amazon River is sitting near the bottom of the food chain.
