- “Pak E. Derm won't let you by, unless you give something special a try!”
- —Message Block, Yoshi's Story
Pak E. Derm is an elephant-like creature that first appears in Yoshi's Story. Their name is a pun on the word pachyderm, a term which refers to an obsolete biological taxonomy that includes elephants.
History
Yoshi's Story
In Yoshi's Story, Pak E. Derm holds up a sign and does not let Yoshi pass. To pass, Yoshi has to Ground Pound the ground, and the Pak E. Derm will fall away, allowing Yoshi to pass. Yoshi has to act quickly because Pak E. Derm will soon recover. Yoshi encounters Pak E. Derm three times throughout the first level, and it does not appear thereafter. Pak E. Derm's Message Block states, "Pak E. Derm will not let you by, unless you give something special a try."
