'''Gip''' is a regular [[enemy]] that first appeared in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. For reasons unknown, it replaces [[Bounder]] from the original game, ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and is one of the few enemies to replace an enemy from the original (the others being [[Needlous]] and [[Phan Phan]]). It usually patrols the ground or clings to walls, shooting star-shaped projectiles at Kirby in order to hurt him. It also appears in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', where it again replaces Bounder's original appearance from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''; it is one of two replacement enemies in the remake, alongside [[Capsule J2]]. Gip, like a handful of other enemies, does not give any ability upon being swallowed. | '''Gip''' is a regular [[enemy]] that first appeared in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.
