Yoshi

**Yoshi** is the main antagonist of the Five Nights at Yoshi's games, both Scratch and 2020. He serves as the main mascot for the Yoshi and Friends cartoon show and the Yoshi's Pizza locations.

## Appearance

Yoshi is a green animatronic dinosaur with a red bowtie and two black buttons on his chest. In the 2020 version, he has a tail with spines on it, despite no Nintendo renders of Yoshi having such. He also holds a microphone, most commonly in his left hand, exclusively in the 2020 version.

## Personality

Yoshi is an optimistic and energetic leader, always ready to go on an adventure, albeit a little reckless, not being able to recognize potential danger before it's nearly too late. This personality is applied to his animatronic counterpart during the day while he's performing.

At night, the mysterious figure inside of him takes full control, turning him into a mindless and unintentionally comical villain.

## Behavior

Yoshi starts on the Yoshi Stage with Daniel and Onion each night. He is asleep until Night 3, although in the 2020 version he can rarely change appearance before this.

### Scratch

Yoshi laughs every time he moves, unlike the other animatronics. He has two random laughs.

He can enter the Party Area, the Yoshi Toilets, the Yoshi Kitchen and the Right Hall and Corner. He tends to wander aimlessly into the bathrooms and the kitchen while on his way towards the right corner, making his movement non-linear. Once he makes it to the corner camera, the player has to shut the door until he leaves said camera. Otherwise, he will sneak into the office and instantly kill you.

He is also responsible for killing you when the power runs out.

### 2020

Much like the Scratch version, Yoshi emits deep laughter every time he moves, coming from the figure inside Yoshi this time rather than the animatronic itself. He has two laughs, a tamer one for when he is far away and a more sinister one for when he is close.

His movement is linear, unlike the Scratch version. He starts by first moving to a different pose on the Yoshi Stage camera before hiding in the Party Room. He then proceeds through Chili's Corner and the Left Hall to reach your office window.

Once at the window, cameras are disabled and the lights begin to flicker. He is positioned in the center and will try to rush towards either the left or right side. The player must shut the corresponding door to send him back to his center position. After a few attempts, he will give up and leave. The amount of moves he makes is randomized, with the lowest amount being two.

Yoshi will kill you if you run out of power before 6 AM or if you let him into the Office, where he will emit a higher pitched laughter with a fade before killing you seconds later.

## Trivia

* Yoshi had various scrapped poses throughout development, some shown in the Unused Content and Concept Sketches sections of the extras.
* The liquid coming out of Yoshi's eyes is supposed to be blood, however it is black. This is because the Scratch games colored it the same way, to avoid the project getting taken down by the strict Scratch guidelines.
	+ jeb jokingly refers to the liquid as "oil".
* Yoshi was originally going to choose the left or right door like he does in-game, but act like Freddy and slowly make his way to the Left or Right Corner and wait there.
* Originally, Yoshi would yank wires and cut out 25 power after his attack phase, encouraging the player to look at Yoshi to make sure he doesn't attack. This was changed to make the attack phase happen more often.
* Yoshi was going to keep his original laugh from the Scratch games, but this was changed to a new laugh in the full game.
* When Yoshi is attacking, Daniel and Onion leave the doors immediately.
* Yoshi was nerfed in 1.1 because his fast speed almost ruined the challenge of Daniel and Onion.
* Yoshi was planned to move late in Night 2, but this idea was scrapped.
* All of Yoshi's poses have darkness surrounding the room, except in Chili's Corner.
	+ This idea was previously used in FNAY Remastered on Scratch, before it was cancelled.
