'''Windbags''' are brown, [[Wikipedia:Aubergine#See also|eggplant]]-like enemies that spew strong winds from ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Not much is known about these oddly-shaped creatures. An important feature about these plants is not to be anywhere near them when they spew air if a [[Nipper Dandelion]] is nearby, as was the case in the first level of ''Yoshi's Island DS''.

Windbags[1][2] are peach-colored, eggplant-like enemies in Yoshi's Island DS that blow strong winds. Their name is a pun on "windbag", a term referring to a person who talks a lot. The strong wind blows four Nipper Spores out of a Nipper Dandelion, which eventually land and become Nipper Plants. If hit with an egg, they will be knocked out temporarily. Yoshi will bounce off of a Windbag upon contact, and the Windbag will faint for a bit.
