Sea cactus
- Not to be confused with Sea Urchin.
Sea cacti,[1] also described as sea urchins[2] and spiky plants,[3] are an aquatic species of Neuron that live in Yoshi's Island oceans. They appear only in Yoshi's Story, where they serve as obstacles in several levels.
Sea cacti have spikes all over their bodies, and if a Yoshi collides with one, the Yoshi will take some damage. Sea cacti come in three sizes: big, medium, and small. They are normally seen in groups. Sea cacti seem to be able to survive outside water, although the only time they are seen on dry land is near a body of water. Sea cacti also can hang off ceilings, and if a Yoshi approaches one, it will detach from the ceiling. Sea cacti swing their bodies back and forth and cannot be harmed. If a Yoshi throws an egg at one, it will harmlessly ricochet off the sea cactus. Sea cacti appear in only three levels: Neuron Jungle, Lots O'Jelly Fish, and Lots O'Fish.
