Raarghs are fiery enemies that appear inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder. They are a variety ofMagmaarghs that act similarly toThwomps.
Raarghs only appear in one level—theDeep Magma Bog levelRaarghs 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. If one charges into the environment or another Raargh, they disappear. They are capable of activatingRotating 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 asBlargg and Magmaargh having names that include the onomatopoeia "arg" in some form.
