'''Cloudjin''' is a cloud genie that was sent by [[Baby Bowser]] to patrol the mountains of [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] in the game ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. As such, a [[Baby Yoshi]] must fight him after collecting thirty fruits in Stage 3-3: [[Poochy]] & Nippy. He uses large, spiked, iron balls and causes them to roll down slippery teeter-totters, and breathes fire at Yoshi. However, three shots in the stomach by a [[Yoshi Egg]] (while he is tangible) defeat Cloudjin, allowing Yoshi to continue. Cloudjin is one of the five bosses found in the game.
