A '''Preying Mantas'''<ref name=NP>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=American English|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|page=[[media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|128]]}}</ref> is a [[jellyfish]] found underwater in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]], and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Its name is a pun on {{wp|praying mantis}}, a kind of insect, and {{wp|manta ray}}, a kind of stingray. Preying Mantas move up and down in a small area, and therefore do not pose much of a threat to the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s. The Yoshis can simply defeat them by shooting a torpedo at them in their [[Submarine Yoshi|Submarine]] forms. | |||

*During the development of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', bony versions of Preying Mantas were considered, which would have apparently walked on land and acted like [[Dry Bones]].<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Development:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/Sprites#Skeleton Jellyfish|Development:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/Sprites § Skeleton Jellyfish]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=May 15, 2023}}</ref> | |||
