Snipper is an antlion-like pair of scissors which flies out of pits of quicksand to attack Kirby. It is invulnerable and serves as a hazard to be avoided.
Snipper is a small orange creature with huge pincers. It hides inside sand pits, and will jump up with its huge jaws to snip Kirby if he gets close. Snipper can often be seen guarding Food and other items.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
Snipper was retrofitted from its previous appearance into 8-bit in order to appear in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, where it serves the same purpose as before. It is arguably more effective at ambushing Kirby in this game, since its hiding places in the sand are not nearly as obvious as they were in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and it strikes more quickly.
