A '''slug'''<ref>Prima Bath. ''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Pages 105 and 117.</ref> is a giant colorful creature that appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. It also has two bulging eyes. In the [[Jelly Pipe]], a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can go into a [[vase (Yoshi's Story)|vase]] and enter a room with a slug crawling up, down, and horizontally on the walls. According to the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guide, this one coated the Jelly Pipe with [[jelly|slime]].<ref>Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland. ''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide. Page 37. "'''''Jelly Pipe''' The Yoshis stumble across a pipe that leads underground. If they decide to enter the Jelly Pipe, they’d better be ready to take on the thing that coated the entire tunnel with slime—a giant slug.''"</ref> Two slugs also appear in the [[Magma Castle]], where they are both fought in the same room.

To defeat slugs, the player must throw [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]s close to their eyes such that the explosions touch their eyes and cause damage. When a slug takes damage three times, it is defeated. Once a Yoshi does defeat a slug, he gets a special prize. In the Magma Castle, any defeated slugs do not respawn; should the player run out of eggs after defeating one, they can leave the room to restock from an [[Egg Block]] nearby and return to defeat the other. 

The artwork depicts slugs slightly differently from their in-game sprite in which they are depicted with red-and-yellow pupils in the artwork, but they have green pupils in-game. Slugs are one of the few mini-bosses in the game.
