Mario’s Best Friend Yoshi Is Now A Zombie!
I really like Yoshi. He's a precious little cutie, so when I saw this zombified version of him, it was a little disturbing to me at first. I found myself feeling like I needed to protect him from the evil people that lurk in the world, especially those that want to turn him into a zombie.
