Clams,[1][2] also called oysters,[3] are enemies in Yoshi's Story. They act much like underwater Warp Pipes from Super Mario Bros. 3 by blowing air upwards, though clams actually stop after a certain amount of time. Clams are usually found around sea cacti. Clams are rare, and even then they appear only in Lots O'Fish.
Profiles and statistics[edit]
- Shogakukan guide: またの名は "とおさんかい"。口を開くとアワがポコポコ。[4] (Also known as "impassible shellfish." When they open their mouths, they blow bubbles.)
- Nintendo 64 Spieleberater: Der lieht schon ewig wie platt auf dem Meeresboden und blubbert so vor sich hin... [5] (It has been lying flat on the seabed for ages and is bubbling away...)
