Dragon

Dragons are friendly characters that appeared only in Yoshi's Story.

Dragons are snake-like reptiles that serve as platforms, while 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.
