Clawdaddy

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.

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.
