“ | I feel like I could battle, but I don't... have to. Would you like to? | ” |
— The duelist Blorb, Shovel Knight: King of Cards |
Blorbs are minor enemies in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, and Shovel Knight Dig. They are small blob-like enemies which usually move slowly towards their foe and sometimes jump at them. According to the Blorb Nest Memento, the mucus the Blorbs use to create their nests, is harvested by people in order to create many everyday items.

Trivia[]
- Blorbs and Blazorbs share the same sprite sheet named "Blob".
- Blorbs were originally smaller and blue, as can be seen in early release material and their concept art. The blue color palette was kept as the default color for regular Blorbs and Jumbolorbs, but is never used in-game.
