Zeus Guy

Zeus Guys are sub-species of Bandits that appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where they throw balls of energy at Yoshi. Their name comes from Zeus, the Greek god known for throwing thunderbolts at people. Yoshi cannot swallow them, and jumping on them, or throwing an egg at them stuns them temporarily. Yoshi can only defeat Zeus Guys with a Super Red Watermelon, Special Blue Watermelon, or POW Block. They are usually found in groups of two. If Yoshi gets too close, within the maximum range of their balls of energy, they will kick or punch Yoshi.

Trivia

 * While Zeus Guys didn't appear in Yoshi's Island DS, a Snifit sub-species with the same name appeared.
