Blarggs are dragons that reside in lava-filled caverns in the game Super Mario World. These enemies hide in lava, and when Mario approaches one, the Blargg lunges at the plumber. Unlike Mario, Yoshi can jump on top of Blarggs to avoid getting hurt.
Blarggs also appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In this game, Blarggs are no longer lava dragons, they are living lava monsters. Despite this change of appearance, they attack the same way as their Super Mario World counterparts. Some Blarggs have grown to epic proportions, becoming the awe-inspiring Gargantua Blarggs.
In Tetris Attack, a single Gargantua Blargg was brainwashed by Kamek and Bowser in to becoming evil. Once this Gargantua Blargg is defeated by Yoshi, it becomes playable Tetris Attack's multiplayer mode.
Blarggs make another appearance in Yoshi's Story in level Stage 2-2: Blargg's Boiler. These Blarggs were as large as regular Gargantua Blarggs and were orange and yellow-ish in color. The Blarggs of Yoshi's Story also possessed lazy-eyes and small arms.
In Yoshi's Island DS Blarggs and Gargantua Blarggs make reappearences as enemies once again. Yoshi's Island DS also introduced a new type of Blargg called Crusher Blarggs, which are enormous in size and can crush solid rock.
Appearances in Other Media
Blarggs, though never refered to as such on screen, appeared in several episodes of the Super Mario World animated series.
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 nearby Blargg to emerge from a nearby lake of lava and begin to chase Luigi, wanting to eat him. Luigi is rescued from being devoured by this Blargg by Mario, who swoops down and saves Mario as Cape Mario.
In a later episode entitled "Mama Luigi", a Blargg makes a brief appearance. Luigi and Yoshi, while running-away from the T-Rex and another Tyrannosaurus Rex, uses ca Blargg's head as a stepping-stone to cross a river of lava.
In the Super Mario Adventures comic, several Blarggs appear before Mario, Luigi and Yoshi while they are navigating their way through Bowser's lava-filled basement. Using these Blarggs as stepping-stones to cross a large pool of lava, Mario, Luigi and Yoshi manage to reach a nearby Warp Pipe to the upper-layers of Bowser's Castle.
Trivia
- Interestingly enough, the Czar Dragon of Barrel Volcano closely resembles the dragon Blarggs from Super Mario World. The Czar Dragon could possibly be the king of the Blarggs.
- Blarggs were briefly mentioned by Kylie Koopa in Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.
