Squidly

Squidlies are enemies which first appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns that are shot out of Squid Shots, and their sub-species are Electrasquids. They are squid enemies that resemble the now extinct Orthocones. They can be defeated by any of Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong's attacks and can mainly be defeated by being hit against a wall. They move in a straight line in the direction the Turret is pointing at. One can see a Squidly's eyes peeking out of the Turret just before it is fired. According to its concept artwork, a crab controls the Turret, maybe either Snaps or Pinchley. They can be considered the Donkey Kong equivalent of Bullet Bills, because they are shot out of cannons in a straight direction.
