Lemguin

Lemguins are large sharp-billed penguins encountered in the games Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and Donkey Kong Land III.

In Donkey Kong Country 3, Lemguins are encountered in one level in the game, the aptly named Lemguin Lunge. In this level, which is located in the area K3, Dixie and Kiddy Kong had to dodge barrages of Lemguins as they leaped from their holes and slid on their bellies, attempting to collide with the Kongs. A Lemguin could be defeated by simply jumping on it.

In Donkey Kong Land III, Lemguins are found in two levels, Polar Pitfalls in the area Primate Plains and Tundra Blunda in the area Blackforest Plateau. Here the attack patterns of Lemguins remain the same; they can also be beaten by the Kongs in the same manner, by being jumped on.

Lemguins are the land equivalent of Bazzas and Swoopys, other enemies which possess similar attack patterns to Lemguins.

Trivia

 * Lemguin's name is a portmanteau of the animals "Lemming" and "Penguin".
 * According to the game's credits, Lemguins belong to the "Terrorfirma Tuff Guys" enemy class.
 * In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Cooligans acted in a similar manner as the Lemguins. In fact, they're both different kinds of penguins.
