A '''Slug'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19990508203838/http://www.yoshisstory.com/6-4.html ''Yoshi's Story'' official website (Wayback Archive)]. Retrieved April 22, 2015.</ref> is an animal in the [[Earth|Real World]] and a colorful creature that appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Slugs look like they are made out of slime or [[Graffiti]]. They also have two bulging eyes. In Page 2: Cavern, [[Yoshi]] can go into a pot and enter a room with a few Slugs crawling up, down and horizontally on the walls. Slugs also appear in Stage 6-4: [[Magma Castle]].

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.


It is difficult to defeat Slugs in combat. Many [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]] are required to destroy a single Slug, as they must first be stunned by eggs exploding in front of their eyes before they can be damaged. However, once Yoshi does destroy the Slug, he will get a special prize.
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.
