Kroctopus

Kroctopus is a large green monstrosity and a boss in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.

In the remake of Donkey Kong Country 3 Kroctopus replaces Barbos as the boss of the area Razor Ridge, appearing in the level Kroctopus Krush. Due to the fact that Kroctopus is half-hidden underwater Dixie and Kiddy Kong cannot fight it directly. Instead the Kongs must trick Kroctopus into setting off bombs that drop from the sky with its crab clawed tentacles.

After being caught in the explosion of the bombs several times Kroctopus will begin to try and attack the Kongs at a much faster pace, its eyes also grow angrier and its color darkens. Eventually after being caught in explosions nine times Kroctopus will be defeated.

Trivia

 * Despite sharing its name with a semi-common enemy named Croctopus from the original Donkey Kong Country game, Kroctopus and a Croctopus look nothing alike. The most notable differences are that Kroctopus is gigantic, green and has crab like claws on its tentacles, whereas Croctopi are about the size of a Kong, are either blue or purple, and have no claws on their tentacles.
