Clawdaddy


 * Not to be confused with Craw-Daddy.

A Clawdaddy is a cloud-like crab that inhabits the jungles of Yoshi's Island. They're very tough and take three Eggs or a Ground Pound to be defeated. Clawdaddy rush towards a target once the target is spotted, then enlarges one of its claws before lunging and pinching, or spinning it around. This cloud-covered enemy could have inspired the Gnarantula.

Clawdaddy teams up with Prince Froggy during the events of Tetris Attack. However, it first appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

In Yoshi's Island DS, they are replaced by a very similar enemy, Crabbles.
