Yoshi

Yoshi is a small, green dinosaur and one of the main characters from the Mario series as well as having his own spinoff series. He first debuted in Super Mario World as a character for Mario to ride on. He can eat almost anything. He lays eggs after eating most enemies. After eating a paratroopa, he acquires wings and is able to fly for a limited time. Although he comes in several colors, the default is usually green. His tongue has many uses besides eating, including acquiring items otherwise unobtainable (such as behind a barrier or at an unreachable height).
