'''Squidges'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 18.</ref> are [[jellyfish]] enemies from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They could be based on the {{wp|box jellyfish}}, due to their four large tentacles, and have large eyes on top of their head. Squidges swim in a basic zigzag-like pattern, some at a faster pace than others. Squidges can only be defeated by [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]]'s stab attack. They only appear in the last two underwater levels, [[Croctopus Chase]] and [[Poison Pond]], where they are sometimes encountered in groups. Squidges are the only underwater enemy that do not appear in [[Coral Capers]]. The ending credits shows a scene of a Squidge being chased by a [[Chomps Jr.]] in [[DK's Tree House]], only for the Chomps Jr. to return on-screen, fleeing from four Squidges. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], the event takes place in the water beneath [[Gang-Plank Galleon]], where the Squidges are instead chased by a [[Chomps]].

'''Squidges'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 18.</ref> are [[jellyfish]] enemies from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' who have large eyes on top of their heads. They only appear in the underwater levels [[Croctopus Chase]] and [[Poison Pond]]. They are not very aggressive, as they simply only swim from side to side in a basic pattern, making them easy to avoid. Sometimes they move in a quicker pattern in later levels in big groups. [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] is the only thing in the game able to defeat these enemies, who the player can use to defeat Squidges by stabbing them with Enguarde the Swordfish's bill.
 
During the ending credits of ''Donkey Kong Country'', a Squidge can be seen chased by a [[Chomps Jr.]] in [[DK's Tree House]], but later a group of four Squidges reappear chasing the Chomps Jr.. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of the game a [[Chomps]] replaces the Chomps Jr. that chases the Squidges in the end credits. In the remake the event occurs under [[Gangplank Galleon]].


Many of them also appeared in ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]''{{'}}s [[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|comic adaptation]] of the game, trying to attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]].
