'''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.

If the [[Blue Yoshi|Yoshi]] jumps into or over the sand which she inhabits at the wrong time, Priscilla will actually eat him and he will lose all of his [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]]. Yoshi can jump from platform to platform in Priscilla's path to lure here out of her sand pit and throw an egg at her, or otherwise a [[Glide Guy]] will come out and that will lure her; however, the first method is best since the other happens periodically and can therefore take quite some time. She also spits [[Needlenose]]s.

==Trivia==
|Jap=アリジゴクン
*Priscilla's attack manners are probably based on the larva of a type of [[Real World]] insect known as the antlion (these larvae are exclusively known as doodlebugs), who are quite well-known for digging pits in sand and devouring any insects that fall in.
