Snaggles

Snaggles are enemies that resemble chubby s. They appear in both Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

Physical appearance
Snaggles have a dark blue back and a white underside with a rounded belly. They have a large head and large shark fangs sticking out of their mouths. Parts of their body are shaped like a triangle, and Snaggles have tail fins shaped like a hook.

Description
Snaggles appear in levels of the Beach world and a Ruins level, Damp Dungeon. They have a repeated pattern of peeking out of the water for a few seconds and then performing a high jump out of it, attempting to bite Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. When they jump out the water, Snaggles make a barking noise similar to a puppy's. In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Snaggles chase the Kongs if they see them underwater. Snaggles can only be defeated by the Kongs throwing a barrel at it.

Snaggles have a variant named Yellow Snaggles, which immediately jump out the water, sometimes without prior warning. A single large Mega Snaggles appears at the end of Damp Dungeon.

Trivia

 * The Prima Guide for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D refers to Snaggles as "Nibbles", and Super Snaggles as "Jumping Nibbles".
