Gobblick
A character from Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Species Pitcher plant
First appearance Mario & Luigi: Brothership (2024)
“Instead...I have a counteroffer. Gobblick! Now that you've gorged on Spite Bulbs, show them your surging power! The three of us have a bigger fish to zap. Baaahahahahahah!”
Ecks, Mario & Luigi: Brothership[1]

Gobblick[2] is a boss from Mario & Luigi: Brothership. It is a massive pitcher plant with two vine-like tentacles for limbs extending from its body; upon becoming furious, the monster's lower body gets a red tint. Its name is a portmanteau of "gobble" and "lick." Mario and Luigi encounter this monstrous beast in the Great Lighthouse of Lushgreen Sea, where Ecks sics it on the heroes before Shun can explain what the Extension Corps is up to. A stronger variant of it can be fought later in the game, empowered by the toxic substance Glohm.[3] One of its primary attacks involves spewing Capnaps, Spikelies, and coins. It can also use its tentacles to constrict Mario and Luigi. During this attack, the Mario Bros. can counter the tentacles by using their Hammer attacks. Likewise, if the Bros. see updrafts coming from three fans in another battlefield, Luigi can use Luigi Logic to grab Gobblick's tongue and throw it into the updrafts, stunning the monster.

When Ecks calls Sharpcask down to battle Mario and Luigi in the Color-Full Sea's Great Lightouse, he compares the barrel-shaped monster to Gobblick, stating that Sharpcask is even stronger due to having more Spite Bulbs (a hostile, Glohm-infused variant of Sprite Bulbs).

Eventually, Gobblick can be fought again; this time, it is possessed by Glohm and goes by Glohm Gobblick.

At one point, Ten refers to the boss as "a Gobblick," implying that there is an entire Gobblick species.
