The '''Shell Missiles''' are extremely rare enemies from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. They are only found in Barbos's Barrier, and they are shot by [[Barbos]]. The Shell Missiles have a purple cone-shaped shell and an octopus like body with two eyes. When they are shot by Barbos, they start to chase the [[player]]. [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] must lure them at the [[Lurchin]]s that protect Barbos, and then smash it to defeat the boss.

Missile shells are shot by [[Barbos]], after which they begin chasing the player. A while afterwards, they stop in place to home into the character, then shoot straight towards him before hitting a wall or a [[Lurchin]]. [[Enguarde]] cannot attack the missile shells, as he will get hurt if he tries to do so. Enguarde must lure them at the Lurchins that protect Barbos, leaving Barbos open to direct attacks from Enguarde.
 
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', missile shells are defeated only if they hit a Lurchin, as they can swim through the area's walls.
 
Missile shells look similar to the [[Electrasquid]] enemies of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', due to the conical shell.

Shell Missiles appear again in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', and they act just exactly like in the previous version. Here, they can be smashed only if they crush into a Lurchin, as they can swim through the area's walls.

*Like [[Koindozer|Koindozers]], the Shell Missiles do not appear in the game's credits.
