'''Grinders''' (also referred to as [[Monkey]]s or [[Ukiki]]s ) are a type of monkey that antagonizes [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. Grinders usually appear in tropical locations and for unknown reasons seem to enjoy attacking Yoshi without provocation. Some of their methods of attack includes spitting seeds, dropping [[bomb]]s, and grabbing [[Baby Mario]]. Grinders cannot be defeated with [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s or by getting stomped. This only stuns them. To take them out, Yoshi has to either eat them, or run over them while they are unconscious. Some are harmless and just a source of eggs. However, they are difficult to eat because of their speed. |

When hit, they turn a darker shade of brown and run away. They usually jump onto vines and climb them as high as possible, but if a Yoshi gets too close, they run away again. They are invincible when swimming in water. A Grinder appears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', being an ally with [[Poochy]]. Grinders possibly inspire the [[Ukiki]]s from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later games. Grinders also make a reappearance in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. In this installment, they are all harmless and cannot snatch your baby, but are still difficult to catch due to their agility. They are also no longer invincible in water and are much more vulnerable to attacks. Basically any attack can knock out and then defeat a Grinder. One of them kidnaps both Baby Mario and [[Baby Peach]] at the beginning of the level [[Baby DK, the Jungle King!]] only for Yoshi and [[Baby DK]] to save them later and wipe out their tribe. |

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Game Boy Advance]] [[reissue|remake]] ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', Grinders attack Yoshi in a variety of ways, including by spitting seeds, dropping [[bomb]]s, and grabbing [[Baby Mario]]. If hit, a Grinder turns a darker shade of brown and run away. Some Grinders are harmless and simply run around the stage. A Grinder usually [[jump]]s onto a [[vine]] and climbs it as high as possible, but if a Yoshi gets too close to a Grinder, it runs away again. Because of their speed, Grinders are hard for Yoshi to catch. |

A Grinder can be stunned with a [[Yoshi Egg]] or a stomp, after which Yoshi can defeat them by eating them or running over them while they are unconscious. A Grinder can also swim slowly in water, and cannot be defeated while doing so as stunning it instead causes the Grinder to "flail" in place. |

Grinders,[1] also named Monkeys, are a type of monkey enemy featured in the Yoshi's Island series. They first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and are typically found within jungle areas.
History
Yoshi's Island series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its Game Boy Advance remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Grinders attack Yoshi in a variety of ways, including by spitting seeds, dropping bombs, and grabbing Baby Mario. If hit, a Grinder turns a darker shade of brown and run away. Some Grinders are harmless and simply run around the stage. A Grinder usually jumps onto a vine and climbs it as high as possible, but if a Yoshi gets too close to a Grinder, it runs away again. Because of their speed, Grinders are hard for Yoshi to catch.
A Grinder can be stunned with a Yoshi Egg or a stomp, after which Yoshi can defeat them by eating them or running over them while they are unconscious. A Grinder can also swim slowly in water, and cannot be defeated while doing so as stunning it instead causes the Grinder to "flail" in place.
Yoshi's Island DS
In Yoshi's Island DS, they are named Monkeys. All of them are harmless, and they can be defeated from any attack. Monkeys are no longer invulnerable while in the water. Monkeys retain their agility, making them still difficult to catch.
At the start of the level Baby DK, the Jungle King!, one Grinder kidnaps both Baby Mario and Baby Peach.
Yoshi's New Island
In Yoshi's New Island, they are named Ukikis. Unlike earlier Yoshi's Island titles, they cannot be eaten.
