They are blue counterparts to [[Gargantua Blargg]]s that reside in [[water]] instead of lava. The name "Nep-Enut" is an anagram of "{{wp|Neptune (mythology)|Neptune}}", the Roman god of the sea.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
| |
| [[File:Nep-enut.PNG|thumb|left|A Nep-Enut, as seen in ''Yoshi's Island'']]
| |
| First appearing in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and appearing again in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', Nep-Enuts remain submerged until [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] approaches it. It then rises, blocking Yoshi's path. Yoshi must throw a [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] for it to submerge in the water (and only its eyebrows remain visible). If Yoshi jumps over it, it chases.
| |
|
| |
|
| A particular Nep-Enut in the level [[What's Gusty Taste Like?]] lives in a secret underground area, and is located entirely underneath terrain and [[Semisolid Platform]]s, making it untouchable when it is not in its risen form. The [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] specifies this one as a '''Submarine Nep-Enut''',<ref name=guide2>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=American English|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=[[media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|128]]}}</ref> though the actual behavior between the two is the same.
| | '''Nep-Enut''' is a huge, blue monster that hides underwater in the games ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Nep-Enut will remain submerged until [[Yoshi]] approaches him. Then, the monster will rise, blocking Yoshi's path. If Nep-Enut's mouth is hit with an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]], he will return to the water to hide (and only his eyebrows will remain visible). If Yoshi jumps over the giant monster, Nep-Enut will give chase. In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Nep-Enuts are only found in the [[Piranha Grove]]. Nep-Enuts are much bigger and more detailed in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' than in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. There is also a subspecies called [[Submarine Nep enut]]. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| |
| Nep-Enuts return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', retaining their behavior in its predecessor. They appear only in one level: [[Up the Creek]]. A new relative is also introduced: [[Egg-enut]]s, which dangles a fake egg and begins to flail if a Yoshi gets too close.

| |
|
| ====''Yoshi's New Island''==== | | == Trivia == |
| Nep-Enuts return in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', where three appear in [[Rise of the Nasty Nep-Enuts]], two in the first area and the third in the last area. They chase after Yoshi. They take three eggs to cause them to temporarily retract into the water, rather than one.
| | * The ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' box art and game cover shows Yoshi about to cross a gap with a Nep-Enut in hot pursuit. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
| | * Nep-Enuts have their own level named after them in World 3 of ''Yoshi's Island'': Nep-Enuts Domain. |
| [[File:WoollyNep-EnutHQ.png|thumb|120px|A Nep-Enut in the [[Scrapbook Theater]] in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Nep-Enuts appear only in the course, [[Frozen Solid and Chilled]]. By tossing three [[yarn ball]]s into them, Yoshi is able to stun the Nep-Enuts for a few moments. They spit out [[Shy Guy]]s at Yoshi. Nep-Enuts can be instantly frozen with an [[ice watermelon]]. They can be climbed on during their frozen state, but release themselves from the ice after a short while. However, Nep-Enuts can be defeated permanently if Yoshi [[Ground Pound|pounds]] them while they are frozen by the effects of an [[ice watermelon]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| | * Switch the last four letters in Nep-Enut, and you get "Neptune", the Greco-Roman god of the sea. |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', a mountain-sized Nep-Enut appears in the background of the [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] course. It is based off of its sprite from ''Yoshi's Island'', as it lacks a tongue and its eyes are placed on the side of its head.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
| | * The Nep-Enut is to water as the [[Blargg]] is to lava. |
| [[File:Nep-enutYCW.png|thumb|120px|left|A Nep-enut, as it appears in ''Yoshi's Crafted World'']]
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', Nep-Enuts appear only in the level [[Pirate Pier]]. They are made of bubbled slime and have the same behavior as usual. If hit with an egg, they will briefly retreat spinning below the water.
