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 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 [[Needlenose]]s. Upon being defeated, she shrinks and hides herself back in the sand.

==Trivia==
*Priscilla's behavior is likely based on the larva of an {{wp|antlion}}, a type of [[Earth|real world]] insect (these larvae are also known as doodlebugs). Antlion larvae are well-known for digging pits in sand and devouring any insects that fall into them.
