'''Black Shy Guys''' are an aggressive type of [[Fly Guy|Flying Shy Guy]] found in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Unlike with normal Flying Shy Guys, performing a [[Ground Pound]] near them does not affect them in any way. They seem to have a horrible taste to [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s because after eating one, they look disgusted and lose three petals from their [[Health Meter#Yoshi's Story|Smile Meter]]. Eating a Black Shy Guy also nullifies the [[Super Happy]] form. Black and White Yoshis seem to be able to tolerate Black Shy Guys and gain two petals. When a Black Shy Guy is eaten, it turns into an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] with black spots. These Shy Guys first appear in [[Poochy & Nippy]]. In this [[level]], the Black Shy Guys swoop down from above the screen, dropping [[bomb]]s on top of the Yoshis. This can be used to the Yoshis' advantage by causing them to break [[Rock Block|rock block]]s. Black Shy Guys also appear on [[P. 6-Finale|Page 6]], hovering about in the air, holding [[spiked stone]]s to drop on Yoshis that pass underneath them. They automatically drop them if a Yoshi ground-pounds near one.

While black versions of other Shy Guy types do not appear in the game, a black version of a normal Shy Guy has artwork. This suggests that at some point in development, they may have been intended to appear, but they are [[List of Yoshi's Story pre-release and unused content|unimplemented]] in the final game. This is somewhat supported by the nonspecific wording of the [[Message Block]] message regarding them.
