| | Clawdaddy are cloud-like crabs that inhabit the jungles of [[Yoshi's Island]]. They are immune to everything but eggs, and must be hit by three to be defeated. Clawdaddy rush towards a target once the target is spotted, then enlarges a claw before spinning it. |

| A '''Clawdaddy''' is a foam-covered [[crab]] and a recurring enemy in the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchise. Clawdaddies usually have the ability to enlarge one of their claws and attack with it; they also cannot be eaten and turned into an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. They appear to be inspired by the {{wp|fiddler crab}}, which is known for having a claw larger than the other. Their name is a play on "crawdad", a name sometimes used for the {{wp|crayfish}}.

| ==History==
| | Clawdaddy teams up with [[Prince Froggy]] during the events of ''[[Tetris Attack]]''. However, it first appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. |

| Clawdaddies first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and return in the [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. They inhabit the jungles of [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], and are first encountered in [[Prince Froggy's Fort]]. They take three [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s or a [[Ground Pound]] to be defeated. Clawdaddies walk from one side to another on a platform, and rush towards [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] upon spotting him; once close enough, they enlarge one of their claws before pinching, spinning it around, or hammering it against the ground, which knocks [[Baby Mario]] off Yoshi on contact.

| |
|
| In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', they are replaced by a very similar enemy, [[Crabble]]s.

| Clawdaddies reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' and are found in [[Ukiki Trouble in Clawdaddy Cove]] and [[King Clawdaddy's Sewer Castle]]. When they see Yoshi, they turn bright red and angrily charge at him. Once they reach him or the end of their platform or whatever surface they are on, they will attack by rotating their claw briefly. In this game, the foam on a Clawdaddy's body can be removed by licking it or hitting it with an egg or a Ukiki, revealing a squarish body underneath. In this state, their movement pattern is similar, though they now slam their claw against the ground to attack, and can be defeated by a single stomp or egg. Ground Pounding defeats them in one hit, regardless of form.

| A giant Clawdaddy, [[King Clawdaddy]], appears as the boss of World 3.

| Clawdaddy teams up with [[Froggy]] during the events of ''[[Tetris Attack]]''.

| |
| Clawdaddies reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', where they mainly populate [[Clawdaddy Beach]]. They are now stylized to resemble plaid purses with sewing clippers for claws. When they spot the Yoshi, they take a bigger pair of clippers from their interior to replace one of their claws, then rush towards him in an attempt to attack.
| |
| | |
| There are numerous different ways to defeat a Clawdaddy: jumping on it three times, jumping on it once after stunning it with a [[yarn ball]], performing a single [[Ground Pound]] on it, or spitting six [[watermelon]] seeds at it. Upon defeat, Clawdaddies give out several [[bead]]s which are automatically added to the counter.
