'''Blarggs''' are [[ | '''Blarggs''' are large dinosaurs commonly found inhabiting pools of [[lava]] in underground caverns. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and resemble lazy-eyed lava dinosaurs, but ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' depicts them as blobby beings with large mouths, small arms and beady eyes, while numerous other games involve an assortment of similarly derived blobby species. | ||

Blarggs | In ''Super Mario World'', Blarggs (also named '''Munchers'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28, page 16.</ref>) as fairly rare enemies, encountered primarily in the [[Vanilla Dome]]. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approach a Blargg on a [[Lava Lift|Skull Lift]], the eyes of the Blargg will be visible before they dip back into the lava, moments before lunging. [[Yoshi]] 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]], though they make their first appearance in [[Vanilla Dome 1]] and later reappear in [[Chocolate Secret]]. It is possible for [[Invincible Mario]] to defeat one in Vanilla Dome 1 before falling into the lava. [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] can also defeat it with a Body Press attack before falling into the lava. These methods reveal a glitched sprite. | ||
As shown by graphics in the source code of pre-release builds, Blargg went through many design iterations of varying sizes, as both a dinosaur like in the final and as a shark.<ref>[https://twitter.com/GamingAlexandri/status/1286735053180018688 Twitter post showing early SMW tiles].
