Fwips (Suin in Japan) are fish enemies in the Nintendo DS games. They can puff themselves up, and create a shield in front of them if Starfy or Starly is too slow to defeat it using a Star Spin. If Starfy or Starly performs a Star Spin on a Fwip's shield, he/she will bounce back. When a Fwip has its shield up, it is only possible to defeat it by attacking it from behind. However, instead of trying to defeat it, Starfy or Starly can back off and wait. In a few moments, the Fwip's shield will go away, and the Fwip will be still gasping for air.
In Densetsu no Starfy 4, the official artwork for a Fwip is accurate to its sprite, with Fwips being represented as a red fish with teal fins. In The Legendary Starfy there is official artwork for a defeated Fwip that is orange with blue fins. This portrayal is different from its sprite in The Legendary Starfy, which was unchanged from Densetsu no Starfy 4.
Toy description
"These guys can repel a Star Spin, so watch it when they dart around. With such sleepy eyes, you'd think this little fish would dart slower." (#010)
In the The Legendary Starfy Video Game Magazine manga
Fwips drawn using their aforementioned design from The Legendary Starfy appear in the Video Game Magazine manga Defeat the Enemy! from the November 2008 issue. In it, two Fwips swam after Starfy, Starly and Moe, but Starfy was too scared to attack them. Starly then slapped Starfy causing him to spin and defeat the Fwips.
