They first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Fangs are enemies in all of their appearances, and most commonly appear in cave levels. When the player gets too close to a Fang, it will fly towards them from its sleeping position. When Fangs fly, they leave a short dashed line behind them. Yoshi can eat Fangs to create [[Yoshi's Egg|Egg]]s.

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===

====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====

Fangs appear in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. They try to damage a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] by swooping down at him when he gets too close, and are found in the various cave levels. The Fangs tend to loop around as they fly, although this is inconsistent. The official art depicts them as purple, but in the game itself, they are sky blue.

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====

====''Yoshi's New Island''====

Fangs once again appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', with one, named [[Count Fang]], being turning supersized thanks to [[Kamek]]'s magic mallet, and is the boss of World 2. Count Fang is surrounded by [[Slave Basa|purple Fangs]] which must be eaten to damage him. Fang's internal filename for this game is "basabasa", sharing this name with Swoop.

===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===

Fangs are also seen in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', where they patrol ground areas and appear not only in caves, but also in additional areas such as jungles and fields. These Fangs can only be found sleeping on ceilings in cave stages, and are otherwise always in flight, soaring up and down at varying intervals. If shot down with an egg or [[Jump#Stomp|stomped]], they are worth two points, and encasing them in a bubble can earn the player a [[Blue Coin]]. In this game, Fangs are purple, matching their original artwork. On a related note, Fangs were also present in the ''[[Balloon Trip]]'' tech demo which eventually evolved into the final ''Yoshi Touch & Go''. In ''Balloon Trip'', Fangs were found in the sky (an area they are absent from in ''Yoshi Touch & Go'') and continually circled around; such a role was taken up by red [[Fly Guy]]s in the final game.

Fangs reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' as rare enemies, only appearing in two levels: [[Whistlestop Rails]] and [[Be Afraid of the Dark]]. Their wings are now purple like those of Swoops.
