Gip was made by: "SSBK65"
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, Phan Phan, and Capsule J). It usually patrols the ground or clings to walls, shooting star-shaped projectiles at the enemy in order to hurt them. 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, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Korean names are simply the English word "pig" backwards.
