Moltz the Very Goonie is the mid-boss of World 5 of Yoshi's Island DS, encountered at the end of The Fort of Moltz the Very Goonie by Yellow Yoshi. Moltz is the only Hefty Goonie that appears in this game. His name comes from the word "molt," when animals shed their old skin, feathers, fur, etc. He initially does not appear until he flies down after Kamek powers him up with his magic.
In battle, Moltz tries to crush Yellow Yoshi by belly-flopping on him as they both freefall from space. In order to beat Moltz, Yellow Yoshi must Flutter Jump above him, while avoiding his flailing wings and projectile feathers, and do a Ground Pound on his head. After Moltz is hit, he flies and tries to attack Yellow Yoshi by sending Rocket Guys that the Yoshi must avoid. Eventually, Moltz comes back down and Yellow Yoshi must hit him on the head again. After Moltz is hit on the head three times, he is defeated.
