Windbags[1][2] are brown, eggplant-like enemies in Yoshi's Island DS that blow strong winds. Their name is a pun on "windbag", a term referring to a person who talks a lot. The strong wind blows four Nipper Spores out of a Nipper Dandelion, which eventually land and become Nipper Plants. If hit with an egg, they will be knocked out temporarily. Yoshi will bounce off of a Windbag upon contact, and the Windbag will faint for a bit.
