A slug[1] is a giant colorful creature with two bulging eyes that appears in Yoshi's Story. In the Jelly Pipe, a Yoshi can go into a vase and enter a room with a slug crawling up, down, and horizontally on the walls. According to the Nintendo Power guide, this slug coated the Jelly Pipe with slime.[2] Two slugs also appear in the Magma Castle, where they are both fought in the same room. Slugs can be defeated by throwing Yoshi eggs close to their eyes so that the explosions touch their eyes and cause damage. A slug is defeated after three hits, dropping a special prize upon defeat. In the Magma Castle, any defeated slugs do not respawn; should the player run out of eggs after defeating one, they can leave the room to restock from an Egg Block nearby and return to defeat the other.
The artwork for slugs depicts them slightly differently from their in-game sprite: they are depicted with red-and-yellow pupils in their artwork, but they have green pupils in-game. Slugs are one of the few mini-bosses in the game.
