Raarghs are fiery enemies that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They only appear in one level - the Deep Magma Bog level Raarghs in the Ruins. They attach themselves to the ground and wait for a player to get near, in which case they charge straight forward in the direction they were facing, similar to a Thwomp. If one charges into the environment or another Raargh, they disappear. They are capable of activating Rotating Blocks and ? Blocks. After several seconds, the Raargh will respawn in its original location. According to a Japanese article, Raarghs are very sensitive to heat and stick out their tongues to regulate their body temperature.[1]
Raarghs continue the theme of enemies such as Blargg and Magmaargh having names that include the onomatopoeia "arg" in some form.
