Information
A type of flying Piranha Plant head seen only in Yoshi's Story, plus a cameo in Partners in Time. They have long, Yoshi-style tongues, which they use to eat Yoshis, subsequently spitting them out in a shrunken state. This prevented use of throwing eggs, but wore off shortly; what made these enemies real pests was that eggs were needed to defeat them, and their aim with the tongues was rather good, which got really bad when they came in groups. Since shrinking reduced Attack Power in PM2, I've made that their eating attack's effect in Arpeggio.
