Kroctopus


 * Not to be confused with Croctopus.

Kroctopus is a large green monstrosity and a boss in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble.

In the remake of Donkey Kong Country 3 Kroctopus replaces Barbos as the boss of the area Razor Ridge. Due to the fact that Kroctopus is half-hidden underwater Dixie and Kiddy Kong cannot fight it directly. Instead the Kongs must trick Kroctopus must be tricked into setting off bombs that drop from the sky with it's crab clawed tentacles.

After being caught in the explosion of the bombs several times Kroctopus will begin to try and attack the Kongs at a much faster pace, it's eyes also grow angrier and it's color darkens. Eventually after being caught in explosions nine times Kroctopus will be defeated.

Trivia

 * Despite sharing it's name with a semi-common enemy named Croctopus from the original Donkey Kong Country game Kroctopus and a Croctopus look nothing alike. The most notable differences are that Kroctopus is gigantic, green and has crab like claws on it's tentacles, whereas Croctopus are about the size of a Kong, are blue in color and have no claws on their tentacles.
