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.

====''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''====
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.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[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 match Gargantua Blargs' appearance, as a blue scarf with eyebrows but no fangs. Nep-Enuts only appear in the course [[Frozen Solid and Chilled]]. They spit out [[Shy Guy]]s at Yoshi. If Yoshi tosses three [[yarn ball]]s into them or breaths fire with a [[fire watermelon]] into them, the Nep=Enut shrinks back into the water. After a while, it will rise again. [[Watermelon]] seeds push them back and eventually have the same effect. If ice breath from an [[ice watermelon]] is used, the Nep-Enut is frozen into misshapen pyramid structure. They can be climbed on during their frozen state. This is the primary way to obtain a [[Smiley Flower]] in Frozen Solid and Chilled. After a while, the Nep-Enut escapes and shrinks back into the water. However, Nep-Enuts are defeated permanently if Yoshi [[Ground Pound|ground-pounds]] them while they are frozen, shrinking all the way off the screen.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
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''===
[[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.

===Unused appearances===

At least one Nep-Enut [[List of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content|was originally going to appear]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', but was removed from the game.
