Slug

A Slug is an animal in the Real World and a colorful creature that appears in Yoshi's Story. Slugs look like they are covered in pink sludge or paint. They also have two bulging eyes. In Page 2: Cavern, Yoshi can go into a pot, and enter a room with a few Slugs crawling up, down, and horizontally on the walls. Slugs also appear in Stage 6-4: Magma Castle.

It is difficult to defeat Slugs in combat. Many eggs are required to destroy a single Slug, as they must first be stunned by eggs exploding in front of their eyes before they can be damaged. However, once Yoshi does destroy the Slug, he will get a special prize.

Slugs are one of the few mini-bosses in the game.
