Do-Drops,[1] also known as Raindrops[2][3] or Water Droplets,[4] are enemies in Yoshi's Story. They are a species of rain droplet creature whose name is a homophonic pun on "dewdrop." Do-Drops first appear in the Jelly Pipe. They are usually found in narrow passageways, where they come out of a broken rusty pipe. They have an unappealing taste, and as such, because they are a liquid-based entity, eating one does not produce an egg, instead damaging a Baby Yoshi. Do-Drops are later found in Shy Guy Limbo, where they are dropped by clouds. They attack by bouncing off and colliding with any Yoshi in sight, dissolving themselves in the process.
