Nep-Enut

Nep-Enut is a type of Gargantua Blargg that hides underwater in the games Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS. Nep-Enut will remain submerged until Yoshi approaches him. Then, the monster will rise, blocking Yoshi's path. If Nep-Enut's mouth is hit with an egg, it will return to the water to hide (and only his eyebrows will remain visible). If Yoshi jumps over the giant monster, Nep-Enut will give chase. In Yoshi's Story, Nep-Enuts are only found in the Piranha Grove. Nep-Enuts are much bigger and more detailed in Yoshi's Island DS than in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
