'''Gargantua Blarggs''' are massive [[Blargg]]s that reside in [[lava]]. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' along with their blue, [[water]]-dwelling counterparts, [[Nep-Enut]]s.

In the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], Gargantua Blarggs have maintained a consistent behavior. When a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] approaches, they attempt to block [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s path by rising from the lava as he approaches. To pass by a Gargantua Blargg, Yoshi must throw an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] into its mouth. The Gargantua Blargg will then sink into the lava, allowing Yoshi to continue past it. However, it re-emerges after a few seconds. Unlike the smaller [[Blargg (small)|Red Blargg]], Gargantua Blarggs cannot be defeated with an [[Anywhere POW]]. In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Gargantua Blarggs only appear in [[Gilbert the Gooey's Castle]], but the game introduces a much taller [[Gargantua Blargg (tall)|variant of the same name]] that can destroy dense rocks. In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Gargantua Blarggs only appear in two levels, [[Gargantua Blargg Attacks!]] and [[Hotfoot Hurdle]].

It replaces the flame fairy, Flare, from the original ''[[Tetris Attack#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''.

'''Gargantua Blarggs''' are massive [[Blargg]]s which resemble [[Nep-Enut]]s that reside in lava in the game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' (in which they are called Blarggs), and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. These huge creatures attempt to block [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] path by rising from the lava as the dinosaur approaches. To pass by a Gargantua Blargg, Yoshi must throw an [[Yoshi Egg|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. Also, unlike regular Blarggs in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Gargantua Blarggs could not be defeated with [[POW Block]]s.

[[File:Gargantua Blargg YWW.jpg|thumb|150px|Yoshi outruns a Gargantua Blargg in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Gargantua Blarggs merely appear as an outline composed of an orange scarf and lack fangs. 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]]. There is also one in the fire area of [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]]. If Yoshi is given an [[ice watermelon]] by the "All-you-can-eat ice watermelons!" [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|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 in the ''Yoshi's Island'' games. 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.

==Trivia==
In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', they are called '''Super Big Blarggs''' instead. Another sub-species of these Blarggs called [[Crusher Blargg]]s appear as well. These Blarggs are much taller than the Super Big Blarggs, and they can destroy dense rocks.
*The Blarggs of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' are similar in size and design to Gargantua Blarggs.
