'''Dragons''' are friendly characters that appeared only in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They serve as platforms which a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] must ride in order to traverse certain levels. They are present only in two stages. The first, a green Dragon, is seen during the third part of Stage 3-1: [[Cloud Cruising]]. When jumped on, the creature will start flying across the air. It acts merely as a moving platform. The second, a red Dragon, is later seen in Stage 6-4: [[Magma Castle]]. This dragon acts similar to its green equivalent, but swims in [[lava]] rather than flying in air.

Message Block in Cloud Cruising, Yoshi's Story

Dragons, also named Serpents,[1] are friendly characters that appear in Yoshi's Story. They serve as platforms that a Yoshi must ride on in order to traverse two specific levels. They are present in only two stages. The first, a green dragon, is seen during the third part of Cloud Cruising. When jumped on, the creature starts flying across the air. It acts merely as a moving platform. The second, a red dragon, is later seen in the Magma Castle. This dragon acts similarly to its green equivalent, but it swims in lava rather than flying in air.
