Dragon

Dragons are friendly characters that appeared only in Yoshi's Story. They serve as platforms which Yoshi must ride in order to traverse certain levels. They are present only in two stages. The first, a green Dragon, is seen during the third part of Stage 3-1: Cloud Cruising. When jumped on, the creature will start flying across the air. It acts merely as a moving platform. The second, a red Dragon, is later seen in Stage 6-4: Magma Castle. This dragon acts similar to the green one, but swims in lava rather than flying in air.
