Sawgill is the rowdiest, most rambunctious fish in the sea, and he knows it. He takes great pride in that magnificent saw of his, but no one will come anywhere near him. Can you blame them?
— Figurine description of Sawgill from Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Sawgill is a saw-bearing fish enemy which debuted in Kirby's Epic Yarn and appeared later in its 3DS port, in addition to reappearing in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. He can typically be found in bodies of water, patrolling a distinct area. If left on land, he will only be able to flop about. His saw can harm Kirby, but he can be easily defeated from behind.

Sawgill returns in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, bearing a somewhat different design from before. In this title, he swims in a straight line fairly slowly. His big saw will harm Kirby if he touches it, even if he is using a dash or Star Dash. However, Sawgill can be easily defeated by hitting his body instead, conferring 100 points and 3 Point Stars.
