Fang



Fangs are blue bats that have the same mannerisms as the Swoopers. Fangs appear in the cave levels of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Princess Peach, and Yoshi's Island DS. When Yoshi (or the protagonist of whatever game they are encountered in) gets too close to one, the bat will fly in his direction from its sleeping position. For some reason, when Fangs fly, small white dots appear behind them then disappear. Yoshi can lick one up to make an egg.

A miniature Fang sub-species appeared in Super Princess Peach. These small Fangs were always huddled in groups and could be removed from Peach's way with the Rage Vibe.

Trivia
