Buzzbite

Buzzbites are insect-like enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. They appear only in the levels Jagged Jewels, Vine Valley, and Five Monkey Trial. Buzzbites rapidly rotate their legs to constantly move alongside platforms and grassy layers. Their appearance is described as a violet colored arthroped with cream and indigo striped legs. They cannot be defeated and can harm Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong if they make contact. Despite this, the Kongs can easily avoid them without being harmed.

Flaming Buzzbites also appear in Perilous Passage where they move rapidly on walls, leave a trail of flames when they pass and conduct the same specified way as Buzzbites. They are defeated when dissolved into the lava or with a barrel.
