Neek



Neeks are small gray rats that take the place of Gnawtys as small weak enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Donkey Kong Land 2 and DK: King of Swing. Neeks are named after the squeaking sounds they make as they walk. These bilge rats have infested every corner of Crocodile Isle. Additionally, Neeks are noted for having "cool rendered fur".

In Donkey Kong Country 2 Neeks are found in several of the games levels. Neeks can be defeated by simply jumping on them or throwing a barrel or something else at them. Neeks can only hurt Diddy or Dixie Kong by walking into them.

In Donkey Kong Land 2 Neeks return, once again as weak basic enemies. There is no difference between the Neeks of this game and the ones in Donkey Kong Country 2.

Neeks did not appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble or Donkey Kong Land 3, instead similar rat enemies called Sneeks appear.

After several years of absence Neeks made a reappearance in DK: King of Swing. Once again they are weak enemies, capable of being defeated by simply charging into them. Neeks have also appeared in the game DK Jungle Climber, where they climb around on Pegs in various directions.
