They do not hurt [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] on contact, instead bouncing him up or back. 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 in the [[Island Museum]] appear in the Subterranean Enemy Exhibit, and are one of the few enemies in the Island Museum that can be defeated. Their name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|goblin}}," a creature in folklore and fantasy fiction that resembles a dwarf, and "gobble," referring to their ability to eat eggs.
'''Gobblins'''<ref>Williams, Drew. ''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide. Pages 99, 129.</ref><ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Yoshi's Island DS'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 119, 235, 236, 237, 290.</ref> are large, yellow, smiley face balls with one pink cheek 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.
 
In order to do so, the player must throw [[Yoshi's 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.
