-'''Squeeklys'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide. Pages 26, 74, 82, 83, and 93.</ref> (alternate plural: '''Squeeklies'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide. Pages 19 and 20.</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 Squeeklys 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.
-They make a prominent appearance in the [[Crowded Cavern]] level of the Cave, alongside [[Chū Komorin]] and a [[Big Squeekly]] that appear 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 their victims coming, and a Big Squeekly that chases the Kongs throughout the level, able to emit powerful sonic waves from its mouth to hurt the primates. 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 shows problems avoiding large walls during the chase and is eventually knocked down by one at the end of the level.
