Bunson the Hot Dog

Bunson the Hot Dog is the main boss of World 2 in Yoshi's Woolly World and its remake, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. He is a normal Hot Dog that was enlarged by Kamek, and is fought in the level Bunson the Hot Dog's Castle.

Battle
Bunson's main form of attack is shooting fireballs at Yoshi, which he can turn into Yarn Balls. To deal damage to Bunson, Yoshi must throw a Yarn Ball at his face when it turn gray, which will cause his attack to backfire on him, stunning him and exposing his tongue, which Yoshi must then perform a Ground Pound on to damage him.

When Bunson has been damaged once, he will leap into the background of the arena and try to hurt Yoshi by exhaling a stream of fire at him; when Bunson has been damaged twice, the stream will be faster. He will also try to attack Yoshi by jumping into the air and landing on him, but this attack can be avoided when he jumps high enough. After Yoshi Ground Pounds his tongue three times, Bunson will be defeated.

Trivia
Bunson is named after Robert Bunsen, the chemist who invented the Bunsen burner.
