Pinchly

Pinchleys are enemies appearing in the game Donkey Kong Country Returns. They are basic red crabs, except they have a blue and white bandanna. Pinchleys first appear in the Beach area, the third level of the Ruins area, Mast Blast, and later in the Cliff area. Pinchleys move from side to side and can only hurt Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong if they come in contact with one. In addition, they move quicker than their weaker variant, the Snaps. To defeat a Pinchley, the Kongs have to bounce on its head, and then Ground Pound the area next to it when its claws are up. This will flip it over, and it will be vulnerable to a jump. They can also roll at them while their claws are up to defeat them.

Trivia

 * In the Concept artwork of Pinchley, titled Pinchley and Pal, it can be seen next to an unknown red crab with a sword replacing its hand. However, this specific crab does not appear in any of the levels in the game.
 * Pinchley bears a passing resemblance to Sidesteppers.
