| '''Yoob''' is a giant [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]-like creature created by the [[Shroob]]s that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. The creature starts out as a large magenta and green [[Egg (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|egg]] on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], where it becomes an attraction that tourists can see for five [[coin]]s. When Yoob hatches from the egg, he begins to eat all of the Yoshis in the surrounding village. His name is a pun on "Yoshi" and "Shroob." Although [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] encounter Yoob several times during their trek on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], they cannot fight him directly. | |

| ==History==
| | The Shroobs developed an efficient method to prevent the Yoshis from helping the Mushroom Kingdom.'''Yoob''' is a giant, [[Shroobified|Shroob-created]] [[Yoshi]] that mysterious appeared during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. The creature known as Yoob originally started out as an abnormally large, |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
| | pink-and-green [[Yoshi Egg]]. One day, this egg mysteriously arrived on Yoshi's Island (presumably placed on the island by the Shroobs). Although no one knew where it came from, the mysterious egg instantly became a tourist attraction. For a mere five [[Coins]], tourists could actually witness the enormous egg close-up. However, the egg soon hatched, and the monstrous Yoob was released. Since Yoob was apparently programmed by the Shroobs to eat Yoshis, the monster started terrorizing the island, eating every Yoshi in sight. |
| [[File:YoobAttacks.png|thumb|left|Yoob appears in the Yoshi village.]] | |
| Yoob is first seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' after he discovers a group of Yoshis still hiding from him on Yoshi's Island. He quickly eats all of them when they try to run away, including [[Yoshi]] and [[Kylie Koopa]], although Kylie is quickly spat out. Yoob then leaves the area, though he is later seen eating and spitting out [[Kamek]] after the quartet find him on the island. After the adult and baby Mario Bros. defeat Kamek and corner [[Baby Bowser]] at the cliff, Yoob climbs to where they are, and two [[Shroob saucer]]s appear and enlarge him. Yoob then proceeds to eat Baby Bowser, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]].

|
| Once inside [[Yoob's Belly]], the group (except Baby Bowser) helps some of the previously swallowed Yoshis move forward in Yoob's stomach by pushing a [[Chomp Rock]], which clears a path that lets them walk through Yoob's intestines. They then discover that part of Yoob's Belly is a factory for trapping Yoshis. The factory, maintained by [[RC Shroober]]s, stores Yoshis in [[Egg (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|egg]]s, then places them on a conveyor belt that takes them to [[Sunnycide]]. The group helps the Yoshis push the Chomp Rock away, then find [[Toadbert]], who has forgotten everything that happened after he traveled back in time, but is still taking care of some trapped Yoshis. Toadbert tells them that Sunnycide is guarding the exit, and they go to confront it. Sunnycide uses the eggs in battle, and likewise, the heroes can free the Yoshis by breaking the eggs. Eventually, they defeat Sunnycide, and everyone, including the Yoshis, Toadbert, and Baby Bowser, escapes Yoob's through his digestive tract, while Yoob seems to stop functioning altogether.
| | When the four [[Mario]] brothers (Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]) first arrived on Yoshi's Island, the place was deserted. Most of the Yoshis had already been eaten. The few survivors were hiding in a small tree hut. Unfortunately, the Yoshi hideout was discovered by the massive creature. The Yoshis attempted to flee, but ultimately every last one was eaten by the massive monster. Even [[Yoshi]], who bravely attempted to fight the massive monster, was eaten by Yoob. Fortunately, the Mario brothers survived the attack. With no more Yoshis left in the area, Yoob left to search for more food. |

|
| If Mario and Luigi return to Yoshi's Island, they can find Yoob's inactive body still on the cliffside. They are able to re-enter Yoob's intestines as they wish, though they must exit through the digestive tract again.
| | [[Image:yoobshot.jpg|left|frame|Yoob, after growing in size, staring down at Baby Bowser and the Mario Bros. of past and present.]]Later, while climbing a cliff on during its food search, Yoob was blasted with an energy beam from a [[Shroob UFO]]. The beam caused Yoob to grow to gigantic proportions. Yoob, who was originally about ten times bigger than Mario, was now over a hundred times bigger than the heroic plumber. In fact, Mario was now smaller than one of Yoob's eyes. And with an enormous appetite to fit his new body, ate the Mario Bros and Baby Bowser as well. |
|

|
| Although Yoob's first cutscene where he spits out both Kylie Koopa and Kamek seems to imply that he does not like [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]] and only intends to eat the Yoshis, this is contradicted a few times afterward. He has no issue eating Baby Bowser and the Mario Bros. after turning giant, and the [[Dry Bones]] that are found in his belly imply that he did in fact eat some [[Koopa Troopa]]s off-screen. There are also various bones, including ribcages, scattered on the floor, as well as much larger bones and skulls surrounding doorways in his belly, suggesting he ate other creatures off-screen as well.
| | Once inside [[Yoob's Belly]], the brothers discovered that Yoob's stomach was not a normal digestive system. In fact, part of the monster's stomach had been transformed into a bio-mechanical factory by the Shroobs themselves. The purpose of the factory was most likely to create even more Yoobs, which could then be released against other Yoshi-inhabited [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. After Yoob ate a Yoshi, the dinosaur would be brought to the internal factory and tortured by [[RC Shroobers]]. Then, the Yoshi would be encased in a pink and green egg, similar to the one Yoob emerged from. However the eggs were fragile and not difficult to break to free the Yoshis inside. |

| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| | Thankfully, the four Mario brothers put an end to this vile operation. To do so, the brothers aided a group of Yoshis (led by Yoshi himself) in their efforts to escape Yoob's body. By using [[Chomp Rock]]s that Yoob had eaten, the Yoshis managed to push the rolling stones through Yoob's intestines, creating a pathway for the Mario brothers to the heart of the internal factory. In the center of Yoob's stomach, the Mario brothers encountered the guardian of the Yoob eggs, [[Sunnycide]]. Sunnycide was created by the Shroobs to protect the eggs from being stolen. After a long battle, the brothers defeated Sunnycide, and, with the help of a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] named [[Toadbert]], freed the remaining trapped Yoshis. Escaping through Yoob's digestive tract, the Marios, Yoshis, Toadbert (and even Baby Bowser) made it back safely to Yoshi's Island. Yoob, who needed the energy provided by the Yoob eggs to remain operational, fell asleep. Fortunately, all the captured Yoshis were saved before they turned into more Yoobs. |

| In the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Yoob appears in volume 36. Unlike in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Yoob originally was just a giant, carefree, friendly Yoshi who is gluttonous. His body is used as a vessel for Sunnycide, as Sunnycide takes control of the giant Yoshi and turns him into a Yoob. After the brothers get eaten, they defeat Sunnycide inside, which reverts the Yoob to his normal state. The giant Yoshi then eats the Cobalt Star Shards, which causes the brothers to panic, and ends the chapter. They manage to get the shards out of him. | |

| ==General information==
| | If Mario and Luigi return to Yoshi's Island, they can find Yoob's now deactivated body attached to the side of a cliff. In fact, the Mario brothers can actually reenter Yoob's body to find items, [[badges]], and [[beans]] the heroes may have missed during their first time through. Since Yoob's body was now deactivated, the brothers don't need to worry about being digested. |
| ===Physical appearance===
| |
| Yoob resembles a magenta [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], except he is much larger and fatter (and gets even bigger when the Shroobs zap him), has black spines, a black saddle, blue shoes, a green underbelly, black irises, red pupils, and pincers for hands. Yoob bears a loose resemblance to {{fandom|barney|Barney|Barney the Dinosaur}}, the host of the educational children's programs ''{{fandom|barney|Barney & The Backyard Gang}}'' and ''{{fandom|barney|Barney & Friends}}''. As a matter of fact, a ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' issue predating the release of ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'' mentioned the similarities in a pre-release screenshot of the game.{{ref needed}}

| | It is unknown if the original Yoob started out as a normal Yoshi that was then encased in a Yoob egg, or if Yoob began as a unique genetic experiment created by the Shroobs. |

| *When the babies dig underground or attack with the [[hammer]] inside [[Yoob's Belly]], Yoob can be seen wincing in pain on the top screen with steam coming from his nose. He also does this when the babies open an area in his belly by hammering buttons and when the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] roll the [[Chomp Rock]] down his stomach, creating a path through his insides. This stops after [[Sunnycide]] is defeated.
