A '''Clawdaddy''' is a foam-covered [[crab]] and a recurring enemy in the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchise. Clawdaddies usually have the ability to enlarge one of their claws and attack with it; they also cannot be eaten and turned into an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Their name is a play on "crawdad", a name sometimes used for the {{wp|crayfish}}.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
[[File:Clawdaddy SMW2.png|thumb]]
Clawdaddies first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and return in the [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. They inhabit the jungles of [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], and are first encountered in [[Prince Froggy's Fort]]. They take three [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s or a [[Ground Pound]] to be defeated. Clawdaddies walk from one side to another on a platform, and rush towards [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] upon spotting him; once close enough, they enlarge one of their claws before pinching, spinning it around, or hammering it against the ground, which knocks [[Baby Mario]] off Yoshi on contact.

In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', they are replaced by a very similar enemy, [[Crabble]]s.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====

Clawdaddies reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' and are found in [[Ukiki Trouble in Clawdaddy Cove]] and [[King Clawdaddy's Sewer Castle]]. When they see Yoshi, they turn bright red and angrily charge at him. Once they reach him or the end of their platform or whatever surface they are on, they will attack by rotating their claw briefly. In this game, the foam on a Clawdaddy's body can be removed by licking it or hitting it with an egg or a Ukiki, revealing a squarish body underneath. In this state, their movement pattern is similar, though they now slam their claw against the ground to attack, and can be defeated by a single stomp or egg. Ground Pounding defeats them in one hit, regardless of form.

A giant Clawdaddy, [[King Clawdaddy]], appears as the boss of World 3.

===''Tetris Attack''===
Clawdaddy teams up with [[Froggy]] during the events of ''[[Tetris Attack]]''.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:Clawdaddy Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World.png|thumb|A model of a Clawdaddy in ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'']]
Clawdaddies reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', where they mainly populate [[Clawdaddy Beach]]. They are now stylized to resemble plaid purses with sewing clippers for claws. When they spot the Yoshi, they take a bigger pair of clippers from their interior to replace one of their claws, then rush towards him in an attempt to attack.

There are numerous different ways to defeat a Clawdaddy: jumping on it three times, jumping on it once after stunning it with a [[yarn ball]], performing a single [[Ground Pound]] on it, or spitting six [[watermelon]] seeds at it. Upon defeat, Clawdaddies give out several [[bead]]s which are automatically added to the counter.

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
[[File:ClawdaddyYCW.png|thumb|left|A Clawdaddy in ''Yoshi's Crafted World'']]
Clawdaddies reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' exclusively in [[Bombs Away on Pirate Island]], where they act like they did in ''Yoshi's New Island''.
