'''Grinders''' (referred to as [[Ukiki]]s in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'') are a type of monkey that antagonizes [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. Grinders usually appear in tropical locations and for unknown reasons seem to enjoy attacking Yoshi without provocation. Some of their methods of attack includes spitting seeds, dropping [[bomb]]s, and grabbing [[Baby Mario]]. Grinders cannot be defeated with [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s or by getting stomped. This only stuns them. To take them out, Yoshi has to either eat them, or run over them while they are unconscious. Some are harmless and just a source of eggs. However, they are difficult to eat because of their speed.

When hit, they turn a darker shade of brown and run away. They usually jump onto vines and climb them as high as possible, but if a Yoshi gets too close, they run away again. They are invincible when swimming in water. A Grinder appears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', being an ally with [[Poochy]]. Grinders possibly inspire the [[Ukiki]]s from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later games. Grinders also make a reappearance in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. In this installment, they are all harmless, but are still difficult to catch due to their agility. One of them kidnaps [[Baby Peach]] at the beginning of the level [[Baby DK, the Jungle King!]]
