Ouchins are creatures that appear in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. They are brown sea urchins that crawl along surfaces, walls, and ceilings in search of food. They can eat various plant-based foods, including apples, watermelons, hot peppers, and Crazee Dayzees. Ouchins' spines damage Yoshi upon contact and prevent Yoshi from gobbling Ouchins.
