Game appearances[edit]

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

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.
