'''Yoshis''' (referred to as '''Yoshisaurs''' in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' cartoon]], and alternatively pluralized as "'''Yoshies'''" in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'') are a sapient species of omnivorous [[dinosaur]]s that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They later starred in [[Yoshi (franchise)|their own series of games]].

Yoshis are known for their long tongues, which they use to grab and eat [[fruit]]s or enemies. They can lay [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] on their own, sometimes as a result of swallowing an enemy or eating enough food, and they can [[Egg Throw|throw said eggs]] as an attack. Other eggs hatch into items, and some eggs hatch into [[Baby Yoshi]]s. In some games, such as the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Yoshis can hide in eggs for defense (instead of using shields as with most fighters) and [[Egg Roll (move)|roll into eggs]] for an attack. Yoshis come in a variety of colors, such as red, blue, yellow, etc., although green is the most common color. Yoshis also mostly live on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]; however, they are a widespread species and can live on a number of other islands, such as [[Lavalava Island]] and [[Isle Delfino]], as well as the continental [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the neighboring [[Beanbean Kingdom]].
