Swirms are snail creatures that appear in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. They travel back and forth along trails of snail slime. When hit by a Tail Flick, they unfurl their body into a straight line. In this state, they can be used as springboards to fling Yoshi and other objects. They can also conduct electricity.
