| | '''Dragons''' are friendly characters that appeared only in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They serve as platforms which a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] must ride in order to traverse certain levels. They are present only in two stages. The first, a green Dragon, is seen during the third part of Stage 3-1: [[Cloud Cruising]]. When jumped on, the creature will start flying across the air. It acts merely as a moving platform. The second, a red Dragon, is later seen in Stage 6-4: [[Magma Castle]]. This dragon acts similar to its green equivalent, but swims in [[lava]] rather than flying in air. |

| '''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]]''.

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.
