Cuttlefwoosh are floating alien creatures that appear in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. They expel orange vapor to move through the air. Yoshi can climb on top of them to steer them and cause them to expel vapor. When moving through the air, they will break or dislodge objects in their way. After doing so, they will inhale plants and creatures. Cuttlefwoosh can inhale apples to increase their speed up to three times and will gain glowing rings on their body to indicate this status.
The selection of Cuttlefwoosh traits is determined via racing; a Mama Cuttlefwoosh will inhale the winner of a race to carry on its genes to the next generation of Cuttlefwoosh.
