Yoshis are the main protagonists of the Yoshi series and protagonists from the Super Mario series. One[Note 1] appeared in the eighth episode of Death Battle, Yoshi VS Riptor, where he fought against Riptor from the Killer Instinct series.
History
Unlike the dinosaurs of the real world, Yoshis are a type of dinosaur species found all across the universe, most notably being native to Yoshi's Island. It was these native Yoshis who were actually responsible for keeping an infant Mario safe while trying to save his brother, return them to their parents, and best a young Bowser on more than one occasion. Such losses were not forgotten by Bowser, and years later, the evil king got his payback by magically trapping the Yoshis of Dinosaur Land into their own eggs. One Yoshi named "T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas", one of the seven Star Children, set off on a rescue mission to free his friends, but was ultimately captured as well. He would later be rescued by the Mario brothers, who were also on a mission to defeat Bowser. After successfully rescuing the Yoshis and Princess Peach, the Yoshis became reliable allies to the brothers, and have continued to help them on future adventures since.
