If they manage to swallow Link, they will briefly hold him for a moment before spitting him back out and causing damage. While they do not inflict much damage, they are among the most resilient Enemies in the game, as few Items are effective against them and the Sword will merely bounce off of them.

Unusually, Anti-Kirbies will cause more damage simply by coming into contact with one than by being swallowed.
