From the Super Mario Wiki
Barbos is a giant Lurchin and possibly the "mother" of most of the Lurchins encountered in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.

[edit] History
[edit] Donkey Kong Country 3
Barbos first appears in Donkey Kong Country 3 as the boss of the area Razor Ridge, in a level called Barbos Barrier. Due to the fact Barbos lives underwater in a blood-red lake Dixie and Kiddy Kong can only fight Barbos by transforming into Enguarde the Swordfish.
Barbos will first attack the Kongs turned swordfish by sending her Lurchin children after them. Enguarde must smash these Lurchins into the spiked balls protecting Barbos. Once these balls are out of the way Enguarde can smah Barbos's soft body.
After being hit Barbos will drop down and begin to shoot shell missiles at Enguarde. Enguarde must lure these shell missiles into the spiked balls protecting Barbos, once the spiked balls are out of the way again Enguarde can hit Barbos again.
Barbos will drop down a level again and begin to shoot spikes at Enguarde. These spikes must be avoided and Barbos must be hit again. After this hit one more hit will defeat Barbos.
[edit] DK3 GBA
In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3 Barbos is moved to the new area, Pacifica. Kroctopus takes Barbos's place as the boss of Razor Ridge. In this version, it takes four times to defeat Barbos, while in the SNES version it takes five. This is because during when Barbos shoots her stingers, one of the 3 is cut.
[edit] Donkey Kong Land III
In Donkey Kong Land III Barbos returns as the boss of Cape Codswallop. She is fought in a level called Barbos Bastion. In this battle, Enguarde must smash three Lurchins into Barbos's face to defeat her. Each time Barbos is hit, she will shoot three Lurchin shells at the swordfish; these must be dodged, as they cannot be attacked.
