Nep-Enut
A Nep-Enut from Yoshi's Island DS.
First appearance	Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (1995)
Latest appearance	Yoshi's New Island (2014)
Variant of	Blargg
Variants Egg-Enut

Nep-Enut is a type of blue, water-based Gargantua Blargg that hides underwater in the games Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 and Yoshi's Island DS. Nep-Enut will remain submerged until Yoshi approaches it. Then, the monster will rise, blocking Yoshi's path. Yoshi must shoot inside Nep-Enut's mouth with an egg for it to submerge in the water to hide (and only its eyebrows will remain visible). If Yoshi jumps over the giant monster, Nep-Enut will give chase. Nep-Enuts are much bigger and more detailed in Yoshi's Island DS than in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
