Gargantua Blarggs are a large variant of Co-Blarggs featured in the Yoshi franchise. They make their debut appearance in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Gargantua Blarggs have an even larger variant named Crusher Blargg.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

Gargantua Blarggs have a nearly-identical appearance as Nep-Enuts, except their body is red. In Yoshi's Woolly World, Gargantua Blarggs are instead merely an outline made up of an orange scarf.

Behavior[]

Gargantua Blarggs are the lava-based counterparts of Nep-Enuts. At first, only a Gargantua Blargg's eyes and large eyebrows are visible, and as a Yoshi gets near, a Gargantua Blargg emerges from the lava, attempting to block his path. It can also do this if Yoshi is standing near a pit of lava.

A Yoshi can bypass a Gargantua Blargg by throwing an egg at its mouth, causing the Gargantua Blargg to sink into the lava, although the Gargantua Blargg re-emerges after a few seconds. Gargantua Blarggs cannot be defeated.

In the Yoshi's Island series[]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[]

They are encountered in Burt The Bashful's Fort.

Yoshi's Island DS[]

Gargantua Blarggs are a lot less common than in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and appear in only a single level, Gilbert the Gooey's Castle.

Yoshi's New Island[]

Gargantua Blarggs are slightly more common, as they now appear in two levels, Gargantua Blargg Attacks! and Hotfoot Hurdle, being the titular obstacle in the former.

In Tetris Attack[]

In Yoshi's Woolly World[]

Yoshi instead has to throw three yarn balls at a Gargantua Blargg for it to retreat into the lava. Gargantua Blarggs are primarily featured in the level Lava Scarves and Red Hot Blarggs.
