Priscilla the Peckish is an insect-like creature found on Yoshi's Island. She is the boss of World 3 in Yoshi's Island DS, and is fought in a castle named for her. Her name includes the word "peckish", a term used to describe someone who is hungry.

Alternatively, a Glide Guy may come out and lure her; however, this second method happens periodically and can therefore take quite some time. She also spits Pokeys.
