| | A '''Sea Cactus''' is an underwater creature that lives in [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] oceans. Sea Cacti only appear in the game ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' for [[Nintendo 64]]. |

| | Sea Cacti have spikes all over their bodies and if [[Yoshi]] collides with one, Yoshi will take some damage. They come in three sizes: big, medium, and small, and are normaly seen in groups, which can be quite a nusiance. Sea cacti seem to be able to survive outside of water, although, they only time they are seen on dry land they are next to a river. Sea cacti also can hang off ceilings, and if Yoshi walks under a sea cacti it may let go and drop on top of Yoshi. Sea cacti swing their bodies back and forth and cannot be hurt. If Yoshi throws and egg at one it will harmlessly ricochet off the Sea cactus. Sea cacti seem to have no harmful intent and are more of an obstacle than an enemy. Sea cacti only appear in the levels of ''Yoshi's Story'', [[Lots O'Jellyfish!]], [[Lots O'Fish!]], and [[Neuron Jungle]]. |

They are an aquatic species of [[Neuron]] encountered in three [[level]]s only: [[Neuron Jungle]], [[Lots O'Jelly Fish]], and [[Lots O'Fish]]. Sea cacti wriggle their bodies back and forth, and they cannot be defeated by any means; if a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] tries to throw an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at one, it harmlessly ricochets off the sea cactus. Sea cacti have spikes on the upper half of their bodies, meaning if a Yoshi collides with one, the Yoshi takes some damage. Sea cacti also can hang off ceilings, and if a Yoshi encounters one, it wriggles faster and detaches from the ceiling. This happens only in Neuron Jungle, however, as sea cacti are out of [[water]]; in levels where an upside-down sea cactus is in water, it simply stays put.

| Sea cacti come in three sizes: big, medium, and small. Sea cacti also have 12 possible color combinations, ranging from orange to pink, making a total of 36 possible sea cactus varieties. Additionally, if a Yoshi walks far enough for a sea cactus to go offscreen, it changes color and size when the player returns.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DNF8UtrR98&t=565s|timestamp=09:25|title=''Yoshi's Story'' - Episode 22: Neuron Jungle (All Melons All Hearts)|author=ColdPhazon|date=May 4, 2020|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 22, 2024}}</ref> Sea cacti are often seen in large groups. Sea cacti are able to survive outside water, but the only time they are seen on dry land is near a body of water.
