Neek



Neeks are large, gray rats inhabiting both Crocodile Isle, Donkey Kong Island and various other places; Neeks are named after the squeaking sounds they make as they walk and are noted as having "cool rendered fur".

Neeks first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as basic and weak enemies, capable of being defeated in various manners, such as having something thrown at them or simply being jumped on; Neeks retain the role of common and easily defeated enemies in the Game Boy sequel to Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Donkey Kong Land 2.

In both DK: King of Swing and DK: Jungle Climber, Neeks are enemies capable of crawling on pegs and can hurt the player's character by simply touching them; in these two games, Neeks can be defeated by simply charging into them.
