Reason: All colors of yoshi belong to one species, so it seems like there shouldn't be extra species tags for each color. Green_body, blue_body, etc. should cover it, no?

Alternatively, if it's decided that the colors are indeed distinct enough to warrant their own species, all the colored yoshi tags should imply yoshi. Right now only black_yoshi implies yoshi for some reason.

I think the logic between having diffrent colored yoshi's having diffrent tags was that they all had distinct traits in the games, in SMW the non-green yoshis would gain the effects of their respective color of shell when holding any shell in their mouth. in SMS diffrent colors of yoshi would have slightly diffrent effects when they vomit on enemies. in NSMBU the diffrent colors of baby yoshi did diffrent things when the player shook the controller. in SMM2 red yoshis are unable to tongue items and spit fireballs instead. and some of the Yoshi games have some other stuff as well, I believe.
although only some of the colors are shown to be unique, so not sure what to do about that.

I could see it going either way. Both individual colored yoshi tags and combining colored scale tags and yoshi are functional. Both have arguments for and against them. I'm preferential to less hyper specific tags floating around, but I'm happy with either ruling. If we do alias them, we should implicate them to their scale color first.

only implicate them to their *body* colour. it’s definitely not out of the question for someone to draw a fluffy yoshi.
