Clawdaddy
- Not to be confused with Craw-Daddy.
Template:Species-infobox A Clawdaddy[1] is a foam-covered crab that inhabits the jungles of Yoshi's Island. They take three Eggs or a Ground Pound to be defeated. Clawdaddies rush towards a target once the target is spotted, then enlarge one of its claws before lunging and pinching, or spinning it around.
Clawdaddy teams up with Froggy during the events of Tetris Attack.
In Yoshi's Island DS, they are replaced by a very similar enemy, Crabbles.
However, Clawdaddies reappear in Yoshi's New Island, this time on Egg Island. Here the foam on a Clawdaddy's body can be removed by licking it, although this otherwise has no effect. A giant Clawdaddy, King Clawdaddy, appears as the boss of World 3.
Clawdaddies reappear in Yoshi's Woolly World, mainly found in World 1-5. They are now stylized and 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. Unlike most enemies in the game they cannot be eaten by Yoshi, but they can be defeated by jumping on them three times.
