'''Cloudjin''' is a smoke djinn that was sent by [[Baby Bowser]] to patrol the mountains of [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. As such, a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] must fight him after collecting 30 [[fruit]]s in Stage 3-3: [[Poochy & Nippy]]. He attacks by using large [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s and causes them to roll down slippery teeter-totters, and breathes fire at the Yoshi. However, three shots in the stomach by a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi's egg]] (while he is tangible) defeat Cloudjin, allowing the Yoshi to continue. Cloudjin is one of the five bosses found in the game. His name is a combination of "cloud" and "djinn," which is the Arab word for "genie."
