Peeplys are small chick enemies that appear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World . They resemble chick versions of Flightless Goonies and behave similarly to them. They only hurt Yoshi by walking into him and can be defeated with any attack, but they are usually found in groups. They turn into yellow yarn balls if Yoshi eats them. Peeplys use Miss Cluck as a disguise to hide from Yoshi. Miss Cluck the Insincere, the boss of World 3, is a Peeply that Kamek enlarged.
