Could a Yoshi kill Macbeth?

Yes, the Yoshi(e)s from the Super Mario franchise could kill Macbeth!

All Yoshi(e)s are shown to be capable of laying eggs, and while often these eggs are used for defensive, offensive, or supportive abilities, some of these eggs have been shown to hatch into Baby Yoshi(e)s, which qualifies the species for the Unconventional Birth Clause!

As for the other two clauses, the gender structure of the Yoshi species varies widely from source to source. For example, the Japanese description on Yoshi's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee explains that Yoshi(e)s are neither male nor female, while the Paper Mario games feature a Yoshi referring to "[his] son," and another referring to "[his] lovely wife." Even characters within the Smash Bros. series express confusion at Yoshi's egg-laying capabilities (namely Solid Snake and Viridi, who are corrected by Otacon and Palutena respectively), so this is clearly a topic of debate.

For now, we'll assume that all Yoshi(e)s are biologically genderless at birth, but that their culture has equivalents of males and females that an individual may choose from if they so please. In this version of the explanation, whether or not a Yoshi applies for the Gender Clause or Birth Parent Clause is still a case-by-case basis.

Thank you for your submission!
