Squiddicus

Squiddicus is an enemy appearing in the game Donkey Kong Country Returns. He is found in the Stormy Shore as one of the main obstacles.

Appearance
Squiddicus is a giant light orange octopus with spiked tentacles.

Attacks
For most of the time, Squiddicus is just a background enemy that is seen destroying a ship. However, near the end of the level, Squiddicus will try to stop Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong from progressing any further. The foe will stick its tentacles in the Kong's way. Donkey and Diddy can jump over these tentacles easily, but when they are on turf, they will have to jump from side to to side to maneuver past the tentacles. The Kongs should not stand on any particular platforms to long, otherwise Squiddicus will break that platform. Squiddicus cannot be defeated.

Trivia

 * The way Squiddicus destroys the ship in the background is simular to how ships were sunk by the mythological sea creature, the Kraken (who also resembles an octopus).
