Dan The Yellow Yoshi

Dan the yellow yoshi is a resident of Yoshi's Island. He is a close friend of Yoshi the green yoshi, and on some occasions he helps save the world from destruction.

Dan is a bit of a nerd, and his only real friends are Yoshi, Nick and Darko. Sometimes he is playing video games on his laptop, and sometimes he helps Yoshi and  his brothers fight evil. His weapon of choice is a sharp dagger crafted from a Goomba's tooth. The name of his mother is unknown, but his father is well known throught the mushroom world as the evil mastermind, Gyigyosh. Gyigyosh teamed up with the evil Darka 15 years ago and attempted to destroy Yoshi's Island for good. But Yoshi and his brothers, Nick the red and Darko the blue, used the power of the brotherly triforce to defeat Darka and Gyigyosh and lock them in the underworld.

Dan has more power than most yoshis, because he is a half-god. He wields  the power of the white dagger of heroes, giving him half the power of a god.
