I think that Blarggs, introduced in Super Mario World, resemble lazy-eyed lava dinosaurs, but more recent games depicts them as blob-like beings with large mouths and beady eyes, with Yoshi's Story sharing that distinction, abiet depicting them with small arms. For example, the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Player's Guide refers Blarggs to as Red Blarggs, whilst the Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 Player's Guide and the Yoshi's Island DS Player's Guide refer to them as just Blarggs. Perhaps we should decide if we could merge with [[Blargg]], move to {{fake link|Blargg (Yoshi franchise)}}, or do nothing. | I think that Blarggs, introduced in Super Mario World, resemble lazy-eyed lava dinosaurs, but more recent games depicts them as blob-like beings with large mouths and beady eyes, with Yoshi's Story sharing that distinction, abiet depicting them with small arms.

#{{User|Pseudo}} This enemy is functionally identical to the regular Blarggs from ''Super Mario World'' and establishes the basic design for Blarggs in ''Yoshi's Island'' (even though that design is a lot different from the one in ''Super Mario World''). It makes sense for me for this to occupy the same article with a note mentioning that it has a different name according to some sources in ''Yoshi's Island''. | #{{User|Pseudo}} This enemy is functionally identical to the regular Blarggs from ''Super Mario World'' and establishes the basic design for Blarggs in ''Yoshi's Island'' (even though that design is a lot different from the one in ''Super Mario World'').

#{{User|Arend}} Per PrincessPeachFan; as for why renaming the page instead of keeping it "Red Blargg", well, it's because "Blargg" is simply the more common name; they were only called Red Blarggs in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and it also appears to be a single instance as well (from what I can tell, the Nintendo Player's Guide on this game only refers to this enemy once, during Stage 1-4 Burt the Bashful's Fort, and doesn't talk about it in the Enemy Index for some reason; the same guide also refers to Nep-Enuts as "blue Gargantua Blarggs" during Stage 2-3 What's Gusty Taste Like, but calls them "Nep-Enuts" again in the Enemy Index, so make that for what you will). Also of note, Japan never called these guys "Unbaba Aka" or "Unbaba (Aka)" like with Gargantua Blargg. | #{{User|Arend}} Per PrincessPeachFan; as for why renaming the page instead of keeping it "Red Blargg", well, it's because "Blargg" is simply the more common name; they were only called Red Blarggs in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and it also appears to be a single instance as well (from what I can tell, the Nintendo Player's Guide on this game only refers to this enemy once, during Stage 1-4 Burt the Bashful's Fort, and doesn't talk about it in the Enemy Index for some reason; the same guide also refers to Nep-Enuts as "blue Gargantua Blarggs" during Stage 2-3 What's Gusty Taste Like, but calls them "Nep-Enuts" again in the Enemy Index, so make that for what you will).

#{{User|Hewer}} Per LinkTheLefty's comment - if we must move it to Blargg, I don't think "Yoshi franchise" is a good idea for the identifier, since it's misleading and implies that the thing that distinguishes it from the other Blargg(s) is that it's in the Yoshi franchise, which isn't very accurate. | #{{User|Hewer}} Per LinkTheLefty's comment - if we must move it to Blargg, I don't think "Yoshi franchise" is a good idea for the identifier, since it's misleading and implies that the thing that distinguishes it from the other Blargg(s) is that it's in the Yoshi franchise, which isn't very accurate. | ||

:::::It still wouldn't account for the eventuality that it may appear outside of the series at some point, and giving the "small" identifier (inspired by "Gargantua Blargg (tall)") will give less work if that were to happen. Also, the ''Yoshi'' identifiers make it seem like it's "the" main Blargg, and that Gargantua Blargg should be a variant of it.

::::::Actually, I'll be seconding this; Give us an option to move it to "Blargg (small)". I already voted for "Blargg (Yoshi franchise)", but maybe "(small)" would be the better identifier. I'll turn my vote in a secondary option then, because honestly, it's still better than the current name. {{User:Arend/sig}} 17:19, July 29, 2023 (EDT) | ::::::Actually, I'll be seconding this; Give us an option to move it to "Blargg (small)".
