Nep-Enuts remain submerged until [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] approaches it. It then rises, blocking Yoshi's path. Yoshi must throw a [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] for it to submerge in the water (and only its eyebrows remain visible). If Yoshi jumps over it, it chases. The name "Nep-Enut" is an anagram of "{{wp|Neptune (mythology)|Neptune}}", the Roman god of the sea.

A particular Nep-Enut in the ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' level [[What's Gusty Taste Like?]] lives in a secret underground area, and is located entirely underneath terrain and [[Semisolid Platform]]s, making it untouchable when it is not in its risen form. The [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] specifies this one as a '''Submarine Nep-Enut''',<ref name=guide2>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> though the actual behavior between the two is the same.

In ''Yoshi's New Island'', three Nep-Enuts appear in [[Rise of the Nasty Nep-Enuts]], two in the first area and the third in the last area. They chase after Yoshi. They take three eggs to cause them to temporarily retract into the water, rather than one.

In ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' and ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World'', Nep-Enuts appear only in the course, [[Frozen Solid and Chilled]]. By tossing three [[yarn ball]]s into them, Yoshi is able to stun the Nep-Enuts for a few moments. They spit out [[Shy Guy]]s at Yoshi. Nep-Enuts can be instantly frozen with an [[ice watermelon]]. They can be climbed on during their frozen state, but release themselves from the ice after a short while. However, Nep-Enuts can be defeated permanently if Yoshi [[Ground Pound|pounds]] them while they are frozen.

In ''Yoshi's Crafted World'', Nep-Enuts appear only in the level [[Pirate Pier]]. If hit with an egg, they will briefly retreat spinning below the water.

At least one Nep-Enut [[List of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content|was originally going to appear in ''Paper Mario'']], but was removed from the game.
