Gip is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. It yields no Copy Ability when inhaled.

Physical Appearance[]

Gip is a creature resembling a pig with pink skin, a large, red snout with two wide nostrils and slanted eyes. Its most notable feature is its two white wings located on the top of its head.

Games[]

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[]

Gip makes its first appearance in this game, where it replaces Bounder from Kirby's Adventure. It clings to walls and other vertical surfaces. While clinging to walls, it either leaps from them or shoots a star out of its snout on them. The stars they shoot out can be chilled into a projectile by Ice or Freeze Kirby. It always tries to keep a certain distance from Kirby, following him if he runs away but retreating if Kirby approaches.

Kirby Super Star Ultra[]

Gip makes its second appearance in this game, where it again replaces Bounder from Kirby Super Star. Its behavior remains the same from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Etymology[]

Gip's name is "Pig" spelled backwards, referring to Gip's pig-like appearance. The enemy itself appears to be a reference to the idiom "when pigs fly," a figure of speech used to describe a highly unlikely event.
