'''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 based on the idiom "when pigs fly," which is used to describe something that is impossibly unlikely. Its English, Japanese and Korean names are simply the English word "pig" backwards.
