Yoshi (character)

Yoshi is a dinosaur-like ally of Mario and Luigi. Among members of the Yoshi species hailing from Yoshi's Island, any Yoshi may be identified as the "Yoshi" character, and as such, not all iterations of the character are necessarily the same one.

Appearance
Yoshi, as all other Yoshis, is a dinosaur with a large, round nose, a row of orange spines along his head, orange shoes, and a shell-shaped saddle on his back.

Abilities
Like other Yoshis, Yoshi has a long, sticky tongue that he uses to eat almost anything, even things much larger than himself. Yoshi can transform the enemies and other objects he eats into eggs, which he can then use as projectile weapons.
