ComBats[1], also known as Bats[2], are a species of bat[3] that appear in Yoshi's Story. They may be found in the stages The Tall Tower, Piranha Grove, Neuron Jungle, Lift Castle, and Magma Castle. ComBats will attack any Baby Yoshi that gets too close and are immune to most things other than eggs.

ComBats are black, spherical bats with red wings, as well as antennas. It has three antennae on the top of its head. They also have small limbs that connect their hands with their body, and yellowish lips with two small white eyes.

When a Yoshi gets captured by Toadies or is rescued by a White Shy Guy, the silhouettes of ComBats can be seen in the background of the castle cutscene.

Profiles and statistics

  • Shogakukan guide: 「踏めない、食えないとくれば、夕マゴでポン!」[4] ("If you can't stomp or eat it, pop it with an egg!")
  • German guide: Weil er nicht richtig fliegen, sondern nur auf und ab schweben kann, hat er sich schwarz geärgert.[5] (Because he can't fly properly, only floating up and down, he became blackly annoyed.)
