[[File:KSqS Gaw Gaw Sprite.png]]'''Gaw Gaw''' is an uncommon enemy from ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad|{{KSqS KMoA}}]]''. Resembling a small mole-like creature with a face similar to a [[wikipedia:Mustelidae|mustelid]], it hops around in varying patterns, and some attempt to lunge at [[Kirby]]. Swallowing it yields the [[Animal]] ability.

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===
Gaw Gaw makes its first and only appearance as an enemy in this game. It is usually found in or near patches of dirt which can be dug through using the [[Animal]] ability. When not holding in place, it is capable of using its claws to scratch and can also do a lunge attack. Gaw Gaw is also capable of holding onto walls and lunging from them. Despite these traits, Gaw Gaw is not usually quick enough to pose a threat to Kirby.

When possessed by [[Ghost]] Kirby, Gaw Gaw can be made to jump and swipe its claws in four different directions, allowing it to dig through dirt like Animal Kirby can. However, it has difficulty digging upward past a certain point. It can also be made to cling to walls, and can then do a leaping attack from them. Oddly, it cannot be made to lunge while on the ground.
