'''Blarggs''' are large lava dinosaurs commonly found inhabiting pools of [[lava]] in underground caverns. Originally, Blarggs resembled lazy-eyed dragons, but more recent depictions show them as being anything from blob-like beings with large mouths, arms and beady eyes to humanoid, limbed creatures. There are even some species of Blarggs that dwell in water or sand, not lava. | '''Blarggs''' are large lava dinosaurs commonly found inhabiting pools of [[lava]] in underground caverns.

Blarggs first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as fairly rare enemies, encountered primarily in the [[Vanilla Dome]]. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approach a Blargg on a [[Skull Raft]], the eyes of the Blargg will be visible before they dip back into the lava, moments before lunging. Blarggs can not be defeated by any conventional means for the most part and can only be avoided, though [[Yoshi]] is capable of jumping on them and, with some difficulty, eating them. The player can also opt to [[Spin Jump]] if lacking a Yoshi, although this method only prevents one from taking damage if landing on a Blargg or its eyes. (Mainly seen and effective in [[Vanilla Dome 3]], also making brief appearances in [[Vanilla Dome 1]] and [[Chocolate Secret]]). | Blarggs first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as fairly rare enemies, encountered primarily in the [[Vanilla Dome]].

In the episode "[[The Wheel Thing]]", Mario and Luigi, having been banned to the [[Lava Pits]], begin attempting to cook a pizza over a fire. The smell from this cooking pizza causes a Blargg to emerge from a nearby lake of lava and begin to chase Luigi, attempting to eat the plumber. Luigi is rescued from being devoured as Mario swoops down and saves his brother as [[Cape Mario]]. | In the episode "[[The Wheel Thing]]", Mario and Luigi, having been banned to the [[Lava Pits]], begin attempting to cook a pizza over a fire.

The Blargg species makes it's first chronological appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. The first Blargg to appear is the [[Co-Blargg]]. Co-Blarggs have a different appearance; now they look like blob-like creatures with large mouths, and have frowning black eyes with no pupils. They behave the same way as in ''Super Mario World'', by coming out of the lava and biting Yoshi. They can be defeated with [[Yoshi Egg|Eggs]], but reappear after a few seconds; however, a [[POW Block]] can defeat them permanently. There is also a giant version called [[Gargantua Blargg]], which come out of the lava and try to block Yoshi´s path. These games also introduce a species of water-dwelling Gargantua Blargg known as [[Nep-Enut]]s. | The Blargg species makes it's first chronological appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Blarggs are once again altered, being larger and given small arms, they appear in only one level, [[Blargg's Boiler|Stage 2-2: Blargg's Boiler]]. In this game, Blarggs do not harm Yoshi when touched, although Yoshi gets a forceful push from them. While they can't be harmed, Yoshi can throw an egg at one to force it back into the lava. There's also one Blargg which will briefly pursue Yoshi; this one isn't affected by Eggs. | In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Blarggs are once again altered, being larger and given small arms, they appear in only one level, [[Blargg's Boiler|Stage 2-2: Blargg's Boiler]].
