Sawyer is an enemy from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. It is first encountered in Stage 3 of Pop Star, inside the castle. It yields the Cutter ability when swallowed. Sawyer also appears on Enemy Info Card #55.

Sawyer is an animated sawblade, with a red eye in the middle of the blade. It moves around on its own accord by grinding across the ground, spinning its blade as it does so. It will occasionally jump a short distance off the ground just to make itself a little more dangerous. Despite its sharp edges, Kirby will not have a problem inhaling it.

A larger mid-boss variant of Sawyer appears in stage 1 of Ripple Star. It attacks by popping into and out of the ground at different locations while Bronto Burts appear in the air above.

In Kirby Star Allies, Vividria can paint a Sawyer which will fight for her by dropping down and moving towards the target. It can still be inhaled by Kirby which will give the Cutter ability similar to its debut game.
