Preying Mantas[1] are jellyfish enemies in the Yoshi's Island series. Their English name is a play on "praying mantis" and "manta," with the use of "preying" conveying they are aggressive creatures. Preying Mantas move up and down in a small area, making them little of a threat to the Yoshis. A Preying Mantas can be defeated from one of Submarine Yoshi's torpedoes.
