'''Pak E. Derm''' is an elephant that first appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. His name is a pun on "pachyderm", a term that refers to an obsolete biological {{wp|Pachydermata|taxon}} that includes elephants.


==History==
'''Pak Elephant Derm''' is an elephant in the game [[Yoshi's Story]]. The little elephant holds up a "Stop Sign" and doesn't let [[Yoshi]] pass. To pass, Yoshi had to [[Ground Pound]] the ground, and '''Pak E. Derm''' would fall on the ground, letting Yoshi pass. Yoshi had to pass quickly because he would get up soon. There seems to be more than one, according to the game and the story for the level. Yoshi enounters Pak E. Derm three times throughout the first level.
===''Yoshi's Story''===
[[File:Yoshi'sStoryPakEDerm.png|frame|left]]
In ''Yoshi's Story'', Pak E. Derm holds up a sign and does not let [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] pass. He stands in the middle of the path Yoshi is taking, and will move to the other path if Yoshi moves to the other path. To pass, Yoshi has to [[Ground Pound]] the ground, and Pak E. Derm will fall on his head, allowing Yoshi to pass. Yoshi has to act quickly because Pak E. Derm will soon flip back upright. Yoshi encounters Pak E. Derm three times throughout the [[Treasure Hunt (level)|first level]], and he does not appear thereafter. Pak E. Derm's [[Message Block]] states, "Pak E. won’t let you by, unless you give something special a try!"

Pak E. Derm also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', as a trophy, and in the background of the Yoshi Story stage. According to the trophy there is only one, also according to the trophy he's been practicing the skill of holding the sign for years. It is unknown why he would take so long but it could refer to him having no arms but holding the sign anyways, or a joke to give him a more in depth explanation for his trophy other than "he stopped Yoshi from passing but he ground-pounded him to get pass".
Pak E. Derm's artwork from ''Yoshi's Story'' is one of the usable character stamps in ''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]''.


===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Pak E. Derm's name is a play on "pachyderm", another name for an elephant.
