A '''Fuzzy''', also referred to as a '''Watabo'''<ref>{{cite|quote='''''BUMPING INTO THE WRONG GUY''' Not all creatures on Yoshi’s Island are fatal.

It is the sole member of the enemy group [[Dudim Phreykunoutonthis]].

==History==
===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''===
[[File:DizzyYoshi.gif|thumb|A [[Yoshi (species)|Red Yoshi]] dizzy with dilated pupils after touching a Fuzzy]]
When a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] makes contact with or eats a Fuzzy, it gets dizzy, and the whole [[level]] is affected. While in this state, the Yoshi may have a hard time walking and aiming [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]], the music is slowed down and its main lead is distorted, and the map is especially difficult to understand well, as the whole background flashes rainbow colors, moves, and twists around; this is especially hazardous in areas with [[pit]]s. Fuzzies always appear in large groups and hover all over the field. A Yoshi can avoid the dizzy effects by [[crouch]]ing. The instant Fuzzies are eaten by a Yoshi, they make it produce a cloud of gas that can defeat enemies behind it instead of laying an egg.<ref>{{cite|author=MarioBrothBlog|date=June 10, 2021|url=x.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1403032561308295174|title=Video of the effect|publisher=X|accessdate=August 19, 2021}}</ref>

Fuzzies have their own level named after them: [[Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy]], which is also the first level to feature them. Fuzzies also appear in [[GO! GO! MARIO!!]], [[Beware The Spinning Logs]], and [[Fight Toadies w/ Toadies]] (the last of which appears only in the [[reissue]]).

The effects of touching Fuzzies may parody the stereotypical visual, mental, and physical effects of popular psychedelic drugs such as {{wp|LSD}} or {{wp|psilocybin mushroom}}s. This is even referenced in the German translation for "Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy," ''Lustiges Sporen Drama'' (German for "Funny Spore Drama").

===''Super Paper Mario''===
A [[Sammer Guy]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' is called "Staggering Dizzy Fuzzy" as a reference to Fuzzies.

===Unused appearances===
