| '''Blarggs''' are large dinosaurs commonly found inhabiting pools of [[lava]] in underground caverns. Originally, Blarggs resembled lazy-eyed lava dinosaurs, but ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' show them as being anything from blob-like beings with large mouths, arms and beady eyes to humanoid, limbed creatures (like some derived species).

| |
| Blarggs first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as fairly rare enemies, encountered primarily in the [[Vanilla Dome]]. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approach a Blargg on a [[Skull Raft]], the eyes of the Blargg will be visible before they dip back into the lava, moments before lunging. Blarggs cannot be defeated by any conventional means for the most part and can only be avoided. [[Yoshi]], however, is capable of jumping on them and, with some difficulty, eating them. The player can also opt to [[Spin Jump]] if lacking a Yoshi, although this method only prevents one from taking damage if landing on a Blargg or its eyes. They are mainly seen in [[Vanilla Dome 3]], also making brief appearances in [[Vanilla Dome 1]] and [[Chocolate Secret]].

| |
| Blarggs, though never referred to as such onscreen, appeared in two episodes of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series.

| |
| In the episode "[[The Wheel Thing]]", Mario and Luigi, having been banned to the [[Lava Pits]], begin attempting to cook a pizza over a fire. The smell from this cooking pizza causes a Blargg to emerge from a nearby lake of lava and begin to chase Luigi, attempting to eat the plumber. Luigi is rescued from being devoured as Mario swoops down and saves his brother as [[Cape Mario]].
| |
| | |
| In a later episode titled "[[Mama Luigi]]", a Blargg makes a brief appearance. Luigi and Yoshi, while running away from a pair of Tyrannosaurus Rex, use a Blargg's head as a stepping stone to cross a river of lava.
| |
| | |
| ===Nintendo Adventure Books===
| |
| A Blargg, which lived in water, appears in one of the bad endings in ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'', eating Mario if he falls into a pit while fleeing from some [[Mega Mole]]s.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario Adventures''===
| |
| Several Blarggs make a minor appearance in ''[[Nintendo Power]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, appearing in the lava flooded basement of [[Bowser's Castle]]. These Blarggs are used as stepping stones by Mario to reach a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to another part of the castle.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Wario''===
| |
| A Blargg appears in [[Honō no Dōkutsu]], the fifth stage of ''[[Mario & Wario]]''. It is nearly identical to its appearance in ''Super Mario World'', but unlike its previous appearance, it is docile and merely part of the scenery.
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Story''===
| |
| [[Image:YS Blargg.png|thumb|right|200px|A Blargg in ''Yoshi's Story''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Blarggs are altered, being larger, given small arms with a blob-like appearance. They appear in only one level, [[Blargg's Boiler|Stage 2-2: Blargg's Boiler]]. In this game, Blarggs don't harm Yoshi when touched, although Yoshi gets a forceful push from them. While they can't be harmed, Yoshi can throw an egg at one to force it back into the lava. There's also one Blargg which will briefly pursue Yoshi; however, this one isn't affected by Eggs, so the player doesn't have to throw them at it.

| ===Other appearances and references===
| |
| [[File:Blargg 64.jpg|thumb|left|A Blargg with unfinished textures in ''Super Mario 64''.]]
| |
| Blarggs, with their appearance resembling how they appeared in ''Super Mario World'', were [[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|originally going to appear]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' as enemies in [[Lethal Lava Land]], [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], and even [[Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]] as they were found in the game's coding. With GameShark codes, the player can make them appear on the level. No reason was given as to why the Blarggs were cut out of the code.
| |
| | |
| Blarggs are also referenced in both ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. In the former, they are mentioned by [[Kylie Koopa]], while in the latter, a [[Sammer Guy]] named Raging Blargg can be fought.
| |
| | |
| In addition, [[Czar Dragon]], the lava-dwelling boss of [[Barrel Volcano]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', resembles a ''Super Mario World'' Blargg.
