Lunge Fish

A Lunge Fish is an extremely ugly fish that will eat Yoshi and Baby Mario whole in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS. They hide in the water, and, like their name implies, will lunge at Yoshi as he passes by. Occasionally, a Lunge Fish will stick its head out of the water. Yoshi can then throw an egg at the fish to momentarily stun the creature.

The Lunge Fish is also a playable character in Tetris Attack. He replaces Neris, the sea fairy from the Japanese version of the game.

The Lunge Fish is very similar to Boss Bass from Super Mario Bros. 3.
