Yoshi

''Yoshi, properly known as T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas, had been held captive in an egg until Mario (homo nintendonus) bopped along and rescued him. Instantly, the young dinosaur and the plumber became fast friends. Together, they set out to rescue Yoshi's dinosaur pals from the wickedness of Bowser.''

Snake's codec

 * Snake: Otacon! What's this lizard thing?
 * Otacon: That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. Watch out for its long, chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swallowed whole.
 * Snake: It lays eggs and throws them, right? ...Then it must be female.
 * Otacon: ...Actually, it's a "he." At least, that's what it says.
 * Snake: It talks!?
 * Otacon: Yes! It talks! Well, kind of...
 * Snake: Now you've got me curious. ...How about I capture one so we can see what they taste like?
 * Otacon: Uhh, Snake...

Palutena's Guidance

 * Pit: It's Yoshi!
 * Viridi: Let me get this straight. Yoshi lays eggs, but he's actually male?
 * Pit: Uhh, shouldn't you know that, O goddess of Nature?
 * Viridi: There's nothing natural about this guy!
 * Pit: Yeah, I see your point.
 * Palutena: Well, all living beings contain both female and male elements. It appears that Yoshi is no different.
 * Pit: I wonder what's inside all those eggs... Chocolate?
 * Palutena: Focus, Pit. If you use your shield when Yoshi's pulling off an Egg Roll, you can grab him. Keep that in mind.
