Gobblins are always seen blocking [[Warp Pipe]]s, making it necessary to defeat them to gain access to the pipes. A Gobblin can become increasingly larger from each [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] it eats thrown at it, and after five eggs, the Gobblin starts to look full with "X" eyes, at which point only one more egg is needed to make it explode.

'''Gobblins''' are large, yellow, smiley face balls that appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Unlike most enemies, they cannot hurt [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] if he touches one, instead bouncing him up or back, making them more of an obstacle than an enemy. However, they are always seen blocking [[Warp Pipe]]s, making it necessary to defeat them to gain access to the pipes.


==Names in other languages==
In order to do so, the player must throw [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]] at the Gobblin, which it proceeds to eat, growing bigger with every egg. After being fed five eggs, the Gobblin starts to look sick, at which point only one more egg is needed to make it explode. In the [[Island Museum]], these creatures appear in the Subterranean Enemy Exhibit, and are one of the few defeatable enemies in the museum.
