Gip

From Kirby Wiki

Gip
Full Name Gip
Debut Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (2001)
Ability None
Category Regular Enemy

Gip is a small, winged, pig-head-like enemy that clings to walls and other vertical surfaces, sometimes leaping from them or shooting a star out of its snout. It always tries to keep a certain distance from Kirby following him if he runs away or retreating if Kirby approaches.

It appears in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby Super Star Ultra. It replaces Bounder from Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star (which Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby Super Star Ultra were based off of, respectively).

[edit] Trivia

  • Gip is probably a pun on the metaphor "when pigs fly" (which means, "that is impossible"), seeing as Gip sort of looks like a winged pig head...
  • Gip's name is "Pig" spelled backwards.
