'''Dragons''', also named '''Serpents''',<ref>{{file link|YS poster Toys R Us.jpg|Promotional Toys "R" Us advertisement}}</ref> are friendly characters that appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They serve as platforms that a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] must ride on in order to traverse two specific [[level]]s. They are present in only two stages. The first, a green dragon, is seen during the third part of [[Cloud Cruising]]. When [[jump]]ed on, the creature starts flying across the air. It acts merely as a moving platform. The second, a red dragon, is later seen in the [[Magma Castle]]. This dragon acts similarly to its green equivalent, but it swims in [[lava]] rather than flying in air.
