A '''Preying Mantas''' is a [[Jellyfish]] found underwater in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. Their name is a pun on [[Wikipedia:Praying mantis|praying mantis]], which is a kind of insect, and [[wikipedia:Manta ray|manta ray]], a kind of stingray, which is ironic as enemy itself is a type of jellyfish. Preying Mantas move up and down in a small area, and therefore do not pose much of a threat to the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. The Yoshis can simply defeat them by shooting a torpedo at them in their [[Submarine (form)|Submarine]] forms. They appear again as enemies in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''.
