- “Now meet my dear friend Priscilla. You'll need some fancy footwork if you want to leave her castle!”
- —Kamek, Yoshi's Island DS
Priscilla the Peckish is an insect creature found exclusively on Yoshi's Island. It is the boss of World 3 in Yoshi's Island DS, and is fought in a castle named for her. Its name includes the word "peckish", which is a British term used to describe someone who is hungry.
If the Yoshi jumps into or over the sand which it inhabits at the wrong time, Priscilla may eat him, causing him to lose all of his eggs. Yoshi can jump from platform to platform in Priscilla's path to lure it out of its sand pit and throw an egg at it. Alternatively, a Glide Guy may come out and lure her; however, this second method happens periodically and can therefore take quite some time. It also spits Needlenoses. Upon being defeated, it shrinks and hides itself back in the sand.
