Rabbid Yoshi

Hero Overview

“	Rabbid Yoshi is a crazy, out of control fighter. Rules don’t apply to him, and he prefers shooting before thinking – which usually ends in destruction. Some say he can sometimes behave quietly… but only when he is smiling foolishly at his team after shooting crazily at the enemy. His infatuation with heavy weapons and explosions can change the tide of a battle in an instant.	„
