Cawcun is an obscure bird-like enemy from Kirby's Dream Land, and Kirby Super Star Ultra. It is found in extra game modes in both titles - replacing Puffy in Kirby's Dream Land - and behaves in much the same way as that enemy, though it can move more quickly. Cawcun resembles a pelican, though with a much more compact body plan. It does not have a well-defined head, as its eyes and beak seem to sprout directly from its body. It bears white plumage, with well-defined wings and tail.
Cawcun is known for sweeping flying motions, able to move at many different speeds. It is also capable of firing a triple spray of bullets from its mouth, though it does not always do this.
