Squirt (boss)

"What was that? I don't think I want to know..."

- Cranky Kong

Squirt is (presumably) a type of large rock-dwelling slug. This creature was located in the Cotton-Top Cove region of the Northern Kremisphere, and was also the boss of this region during the events of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. The Kongs battled this strange creature as Ellie the Elephant in it's domain behind the waterfall named Squirt's Showdown. Squirt would shoot a continuous stream of water out of its mouth in an attempt to knock the pachyderm off the cliffs where the battle took place. Ellie could return fire by sucking in water from the waterfall and shooting it at Squirt's eyes.

When Squirt is defeated, he will drop a Ski. Once the Kongs collect both Skis, Funky Kong will be able to use them to build the Turbo Ski.

In the Game Boy Advance remake, Squirt gained a new attack: when shooting two streams of water, one would circle the arena fast while the other would move slow.When defeated, his face falls off and the waterfall no longer has water.

Squirt is one of only two bosses from Donkey Kong Country 3 not to reappear in Donkey Kong Land III, the other being Belcha.
