A Gobblin from Yoshi's Island DS
Gobblins[1][2] are large, yellow, smiley face balls with one pink cheek in Yoshi's Island DS. They do not hurt Yoshi on contact, instead bouncing him up or back. Gobblins are always seen blocking Warp Pipes, making it necessary to defeat them to gain access to the pipes. A Gobblin can become increasingly larger from each 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 "goblin," a creature in folklore and fantasy fiction that resembles a dwarf, and "gobble," referring to their ability to eat eggs.
