+'''Priscilla the Peckish''' is an {{wp|antlion}}-like creature found on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. She is the boss of [[World 3 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 3]] in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and is fought in [[Castle of Priscilla the Peckish|a castle named for her]]. Her name includes the word "peckish", a term used to describe someone who is hungry.

+If the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] jumps into or over the sand which she inhabits at the wrong time, Priscilla may eat him, causing him to lose all of his [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]]. Yoshi can jump from platform to platform in Priscilla's path to lure her out of her sand pit and throw an egg at her. Alternatively, a [[Glide Guy]] may come out and lure her; however, this second method happens periodically and can therefore take quite some time. She also spits [[Pokey (projectile)|Pokey]]s. Upon being defeated, she shrinks and hides herself back in the sand.

-==Trivia==
-*Priscilla's attack manners are probably based on the larva of a type of [[Earth|real world]] insect known as the [[wikipedia:Antlion|antlion]] (these larvae are also known as doodlebugs), who are quite well-known for digging pits in sand and devouring any insects that fall into them.
-*Priscilla is very similar to the [[Pokémon]] [[bulbapedia:Trapinch|Trapinch]], as both have large heads, powerful jaws, and tiny bodies with four tiny legs.
-*Priscilla's attack is very similar to the [[pikipedia:Sandbelching Meerslug|Sandbelching Meerslug]].
