==Biography==
In Yoshi's island, a group of Yoshi's had found a cave. It seemed like uncharted territory. It was at the top of the center mountain. One of them decided to go inside and explore. He found a creature called a Monsuta. It was odd, to say the least, just walking around in the darkness, trying to find any food source. By Yoshi instinct, they ate the Monsuta. Within a few minutes, the Monsuta began taking over the Yoshi's body, eating him from the inside out. What was left of Yoshi was a rotting husk with a missing finger and open patches of skin, with red, glowing, fly-like eyes. It crawled out of the cave, terrifying all the other Yoshis. The body began shaking stiffly, almost like it wasn't even moving. Then, the Monsuta crawled out of the Yoshi's mouth, and started spitting a venomous goop everywhere. As the Yoshis ran away in terror, a countless amount of Monsuta's emerged from the cave, and the chase began. The Yoshi's having good knowledge of the island knew shortcuts and jumps only they can do. But when a Monsuta is hungry, nothing can stop it from having it's meal. The Monsutas worked together to figure out the Yoshi's paths and tricks, and eventually they caught up with them.
It didn't take long for the infection to spread across the island. The other creatures didn't stand a chance. They were modified to the Monsuta's desires, like enhancing other senses, removing or adding body parts, etc. Only a few Yoshi's were able to hide and survive. One night, all the infected Yoshi's gathered on a mountain. The first infected was at the top. The Monsuta crawled out of its mouth, and muttered something. Through the raspy, screech-like voice of the creature, it sounded like it had said "Kurishimi."
This is when Magikoopa woke baby Bowser up at the middle of the night, he said he heard strange noises outside, and that the island is oddly devoid of life and dark. They both investigated outside, soon they encountered the first infected creatures, Chain Chomps. They discovered it has a great sense of sight, but was also deaf. Using this knowledge, they carefully walked over to the next part of the island. While heading there, Bowser couldn't seem to stop thinking that maybe these creatures created a whole new ecosystem, but why? after encountering a countless amount of creatures and discovering their strengths and weaknesses, they finally made it to an abandoned hut, where they saw 2 or 3 Yoshi's with little food, terrified. After Magikoopa asked what happened to the island, the Yoshi's explained the whole tragedy. Any infected is called a "Kurishimi" and if they get infected, they can never be saved. Then they told them of the mountain on the center of the island, and recorded their findings. Magikoopa thought, "Maybe that is where the heart of this infection lies, and we'll put an end to it, once and for all."
After defeating countless Kurishimis, the duo made it to the top. There, they saw a Yoshi that looked way older than all the rest, it's skin barely attached to the body.. lower jaw ripped off, and a lot of more cuts and patches. It made a noise, then.. a dark crane flew over the mountain, it dropped a sack to the mountain. The duo heard sounds coming from it, before 2 babies with hats and fly-like eyes emerged. Their skin was dark, and they had bruises all over. The king did a loud roar, and the babies charged at the duo. 
Magikoopa quickly used his magic to dispose of them, but was suprised to see the babies emerged from death, ready to fight again. All the sudden, it clicked. The Monsuta's were simply killing any other creature on this island to be the only species alive here. And using the creature's corpses as food and nutrients, until all that was left was bones. It was simply survival of the fittest, and he and Bowser were only interfering with it. Still, he didn't want his child dying, so he and Bowser gave it all they could. However, as they were about to finally kill the infected babies, a massive rumbling coming from the bottom of the mountain could be heard, and it sounded to only be getting louder and louder. This was a trick, to get the duo to waste time with the babies so the island could finish off the survivors who could defeat them. But Magikoopa had enough, he transformed Bowser to enormous heights while he dealt with the king. Bowser gave it all he could, but there were simply too many of them, and as he felt the Monsutas digging through the flesh, he accepted his fate. The king was tough, he was experienced and filled with rage. But Magikoopa finally killed him, only to find Bowser as an infected, with his shell completely torn off. He couldn't kill the person he spent years protecting, so he flew off the island, and left the island to rot.
After Magikoopa's retreat, the island became 100% infected, with 50% of the creatures there already reduced to bone. So with no bodies to munch off of, the Monsutas attempted to train themselves to swim.
