'''Gargantua Blarggs''' are massive [[Blargg]]s that reside in [[lava]]. They debuted in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and have made many appearances in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]].

==History==
===''Yoshi'' franchise===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
[[File:GargantuaBlargg-SMW2.png|thumb|158px|A Gargantua Blargg, as it appears in ''Yoshi's Island'']]
Gargantua Blarggs first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''; they return in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. They attempt to block [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s path by rising from the lava as he approaches. To pass by a Gargantua Blargg, Yoshi must throw an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] into its mouth. The Gargantua Blarrg will then sink into the lava, allowing Yoshi to continue past it. However, it re-emerges after a few seconds. Unlike the smaller [[Blargg (small)|Red Blargg]], Gargantua Blarggs cannot be defeated with an [[Anywhere POW]].

A counterpart of Gargantua Blarggs known as a [[Nep-Enut]] also debuts in this game. Its behavior is similar, although it is blue and resides in [[water]] instead of lava.

====''Tetris Attack''====
[[File:GargantuaBlargg-VS-TetrisAttack.png|thumb|left|96px|Gargantua Blargg's VS Mode portrait, from ''Tetris Attack'']]
In the game ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', a Gargantua Blargg appears as a ruler of the "Lava World", being allied with [[Pyro Guy|Flamer Guy]]. In here, as many other old enemies of Yoshi, was shown as a friend of Yoshi, being enchanted by Bowser to work for him. It replaces the flame fairy, Flare, from the original ''[[Tetris Attack#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''.

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
[[File:YIDS Gargantua Blargg.png|thumb|A Gargantua Blargg from ''Yoshi's Island DS'']]
Gargantua Blarggs return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', retaining their behavior from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. They appear only in [[Gilbert the Gooey's Castle]]. A new variant also called [[Gargantua Blargg (tall)|Gargantua Blargg]]s is introduced as well. These Gargantua Blarggs are much taller and can destroy dense rocks.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
[[File:Gargantua Blargg Attacks!.png|thumb|left|Light-blue Yoshi about to attack a Gargantua Blargg in ''Yoshi's New Island'']]
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Gargantua Blarggs return, appearing in two levels: [[Gargantua Blargg Attacks!]] and [[Hotfoot Hurdle]].
{{br|right}}

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====
[[File:Gargantua Blargg YWW.jpg|thumb|150px|Yoshi outruns a Gargantua Blargg in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Gargantua Blarggs merely appear as an outline composed of an orange scarf and lack fangs. It takes three yarn balls to make the Gargantua Blargg hide back down into the lava. They mainly appear in the level [[Lava Scarves and Red-Hot Blarggs]]. There is also one in the fire area of [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]]. If Yoshi is given an [[ice watermelon]] by the "All-you-can-eat ice watermelons!" [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Power Badge]], he can use the melon to ultimately take down a Gargantua Blargg with one blow.

====''Yoshi's Crafted World''====

Gargantua Blarggs reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', in the level [[Poochy's Magma Run]]. They are made of bubbled slime and have the same behavior as usual. When a Gargantua Blargg is hit by Yoshi's egg, it spins sinking down. There is also a costume and a craft based on Gargantua Blarggs.
