Gargantua Blargg

"I am a Blargg, Gargantua Blargg!"

- Gargantua Blargg

Gargantua Blarggs are massive counterparts to Nep-Enuts that reside in lava in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi's New Island, Yoshi's Woolly World, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World and Yoshi's Crafted World. These huge creatures attempt to block Yoshi's path by rising from the lava as the dinosaur approaches. To pass by a Gargantua Blargg, Yoshi must throw an egg at the monster's mouth. The fire creature will then sink into the lava, allowing Yoshi to continue his journey. However, they reappear after a few seconds. Unlike the smaller Red Blargg, Gargantua Blarggs can not be defeated with POW Blocks.

In the game Tetris Attack, a Gargantua Blargg appears as a ruler of the "Lava World", being allied with 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 Panel de Pon.

Another sub-species of these Blarggs also called Gargantua Blarggs appear as well. These Blarggs are much taller and can destroy dense rocks.

In Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, Gargantua Blarggs merely appear as an outline composed of an orange scarf. 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. If Yoshi is given an ice watermelon by the "All-you-can-eat ice watermelons!" Power Badge, he can use the melon to ultimately take down a Gargantua Blargg with one blow.

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.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

 * Shogakukan guide: 溶岩の池に住む怪物. やっぱりタマゴを当てれば、しばらくおとなしくなる. (A monster that lives in a lava pond. Of course, if you hit it with an egg, it will go quiet for a while.)
 * Player's Guide: The hot-blooded member of the Blargg family. Maybe he's so angry because no one will trim his eyebrows.

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

 * Shogakukan guide: 溶岩の中に住む怪物. タマゴを当てると、約５秒ほど溶岩にしずんでおとなしくなる. このスキにとびこえてしまおう. (A monster that lives in lava. If you hit it with an egg, it will sink into the lava for about 5 seconds and become quiet. Take advantage of this opportunity to jump over it.)

Yoshi's New Island

 * Shogakukan guide: 溶岩に潜み、ヨッシーが近づくと溶岩から浮上してきて襲ってくる. 倒すことはできないが、タマゴを3回当てるとひるむ. ひるませてから逃げるとよい. (It lurks in the lava, and when Yoshi approaches it, it rises out of the lava and attacks. You cannot defeat it, but if you hit it with three eggs, it will flinch. You can escape after you make it go down.)

Trivia

 * In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, the player must throw an egg in a Gargantua Blargg's mouth to defeat it, but in Yoshi's Island DS, it will be defeated if hit anywhere.
 * The Blarggs of Yoshi's Story are similar in size and design to Gargantua Blarggs.
