-'''Squeeklys'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 26. The author mostly uses this plural form, as seen at pages 82 and 83.</ref> (alt. plural: '''Squeeklies'''<ref>"''Your main enemies here are Mole Miners and '''Squeeklies'''.''" Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 19.</ref>, singular: '''Squeekly''') are purple [[bat]] creatures that inhabit [[Donkey Kong Island]] and appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Squeeklys are semi-common enemies that appear in some levels of the [[Cave]] and the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]], and other dark levels. For [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], these baddies are more of an obstacle than an enemy, as all they do is fly straight forward. The [[Kong]]s can defeat a Squeekly by jumping on it, firing small peanuts, or throwing an object at it, such as a [[barrel]]. Some Squeeklies fly higher than others and are harder to attack.
+A '''Squeekly''' (pluralized as '''Squeeklys'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide. Pages 26, 74, 82, 83, and 93.</ref> or '''Squeeklies'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide. Pages 19 and 20.</ref>) is a type of enemy appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', a purple [[bat]]-like creature existing in some levels of the [[Cave]] and the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]], and other dark levels. They attack by simply flying straight forward, allowing them to be easily defeated with jumps, small peanuts, or having objects such as [[barrel]]s thrown at them. Some Squeeklys fly higher than others and are more difficult to attack.
+Squeeklys make a prominent appearance in the [[Crowded Cavern]] level of the Cave, alongside [[Chū Komorin]] and a [[Big Squeekly]], appearing in a specific formation. There are some small Squeeklys that attack in the front, Chū Komorin that attack by flying up or down when they feel the Kongs approaching, and a Big Squeekly that chases them throughout the level, able to emit powerful sonic waves from its mouth to damage them. The smallest Squeeklys often appear in large groups. Unlike the Squeeklys that appear in other levels, these Squeeklys cannot be defeated in any way, although the large Squeekly displays difficulty avoiding large walls during the chase and is eventually knocked down by one at the end of the level.
