| '''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]].

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 ''[[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 Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[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. |

| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Gargantua Blarggs appear as an outline composed of an orange scarf and lack fangs. Gargantua Blarggs usually chase Yoshi around, impeding him greatly due to their size and fire damage. They accelerate as they move, but they can only turn when at a complete stop, meaning they can chase Yoshi from long distances but take a while to turn around if they miss. Gargantua Blarggs can pass through semisolid platforms, but stop at solid terrain. Hitting one with a [[yarn ball]], watermelon seeds from a [[watermelon]] or with fire breath from an [[fire watermelon]] forces it backward a little. It takes three yarn balls, a large number of watermelon seeds, or ice breath from an [[Ice watermelon]] to make the Gargantua Blargg hide back in the lava temporarily. They appear in the levels [[Lava Scarves and Red-Hot Blarggs]], [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]], and [[Skeleton Goonies' Lava Lair]], though King Bowser's Castle only has one Gargantua Blargg in its red room. In Skeleton Goonies' Lava Lair, Gargantua Blarggs only charge straight ahead and do not turn around. Given the lack of terrain and deadly lava below, they serve as extremely tall obstacles that must be surmounted by jumping from the [[Skeleton Goonie]]s.

| |
| 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.
