Can anyone identify the species-Pal101
I haven't played the game in a while, but I thought it was some sort of ghost and that there was only one of it, not a whole species. -- Sir Grodus
There were 2 actually-Pal101
Oh, well, I still think it was a snake-like ghost of some kind. -- Sir Grodus
Yeah I'll add that to the article.-Pal101
SAME AS GOBBLEGUT?
i was playing super mario galaxy 2, and Gobblegut kinda looks like Bowsers pet, so is it the same creature? Correct me if im wrong... And if they are the same, you should put that in bowser Jrs, Gobbleguts, and bowsers pet trivia.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Koopakid (talk).
Name
For future reference, the only reference to the pet I could find on the (archived) YS site is this: "You'll have to battle the big bully twice: once when he's riding a sneering green ghost, and again after he's been de-ghosted." That at least tells us it's a ghost, but I don't think that works for a name. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
- The player's guide also calls it a ghost: "The final scene in Yoshi's Story will unfold with Baby Bowser riding a ghost across the upper reaches of the castle [...]." Hello, I'm Time Turner. 18:19, 20 July 2017 (EDT)
ghost rider
While looking through the wiki pages, I noticed that these resemble Ghost Riders from the same game. so wouldn't it be a species of ghost rider? they seem to behave the same, except Baby Bowser rides these ones.Pikmin theories (talk) 21:10, 14 March 2018 (EDT)
- That would be conjecture, as the faces are nothing similar. At least, I think it would be. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:42, 14 March 2018 (EDT)
Conjecture?
You mean that only Japanese names are valable for character in which no official english name was found? --83.156.220.80 10:50, 23 August 2018 (EDT)
- That would be {{another language}}, in which something has a non-English name, but not an English one. {{conjecture}} is used when there's no name to use at all, so one is fittingly created. 11:07, 23 August 2018 (EDT)
- Yes, but there is clearly a German name. I guess it doesn't count. Am i right? --83.156.220.80 11:17, 23 August 2018 (EDT)
Japanese name

Does the Shogakugan briefly give them a mention, or aren't mentioned at all? -- FanOfYoshi 13:54, 1 March 2019 (EST)
- 「オバケ」 (Obake) on page 123, in the first sentence and first caption regarding Baby Koopa. It's pretty generic, but better than nothing. LinkTheLefty (talk) 06:39, 2 March 2019 (EST)
- It is written in Katakana, so is it a proper noun, or is it when it is in Hiragana that it is not a proper noun? Hiragana is much harder than Katakana. -- FanOfYoshi 06:41, 2 March 2019 (EST)
