Priscilla the Peckish attacking the Black Yoshi.

Priscilla the Peckish is a type of vaguely Chain Chomp-like insect creature found on Yoshi's Island. She is the boss of World 3 in Yoshi's Island DS.

If the Yoshi jumps into or over the sand which she 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 her out of her sand pit and throw an egg at her. Alternatively, a Glide Guy may come out and lure her; however, this second method happens periodically and can therefore take quite some time. She also spits Needlenoses.

[edit] Trivia

  • Priscilla's attack manners are probably based on the larva of a type of Real World insect known as the antlion (these larvae are also known as doodlebugs), who are quite well-known for digging pits in sand and devouring any insects that fall in.
  • Priscilla mave have been inspired by the Pokémon Trapinch.
