Relatives

Aqua Lakitus[1] are enemies appearing only in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake. They are a relative of Wall Lakitus that hide in the waters of Naval Piranha's Castle and attack by throwing Needlenoses at Yoshi. Even while underwater, an Aqua Lakitu's snorkel gear remains visible slightly above. Yoshi can defeat an Aqua Lakitu by eating it, stomping it, or throwing an egg at it when it surfaces.
