'''Armies'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, [[Media:DKC Guide 16-17.jpg|Page 16]].</ref> are little armadillo enemies that are found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. When an Army is rolled up, [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on it twice to defeat it, while Donkey Kong can get rid of it with a single jump. [[Army Dillo]] from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' is a giant Army, although the enemy species did not appear in the game.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country''===
[[File:W-Army.png|thumb|An Army holding a "W" in ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s Game Boy Color remake]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Armies attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat an Army by jumping on it once, regardless if the enemy is inside its shell or not. [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on an Army twice to defeat it, as when he jumps on a curled up Army, Diddy forces it to its normal position. While an Army is not curled up, Diddy can jump on it another time to defeat it.


An Army, purple in color, appears in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|''Donkey Kong Country'']]". It is the first enemy in this comic to attack [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong. Diddy defeats it by simply [[jump]]ing on it. Like every enemy in the comic, the Army is able to speak.
Armies appear in five [[level]]s: [[Ropey Rampage]], [[Slipslide Ride]], [[Rope Bridge Rumble]], [[Misty Mine]], and [[Platform Perils]]. Armies are also the fifth and final pair of enemies released by [[Dumb Drum]] during his boss fight in [[Boss Dumb Drum]].


In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Donkey Kong can [[Hand Slap]] an Army to obtain a [[photograph]] for the first page of the [[scrapbook]].
===''Donkey Kong Land''===
Armies return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', behaving identically as before and appearing in slightly more levels, as follows: [[Tyre Trail]], [[Riggin' Rumble]], [[Tricky Temple]], [[Swirlwind Storm]], [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)|Pot Hole Panic]], [[Balloon Barrage]], [[Kong Krazy]], and lastly [[Button Barrel Blast]].
===''Club Nintendo''===
An Army, purple in color, appears in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]." It is the first enemy that attacks [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong. Diddy defeats it by simply [[jump]]ing on it. Like every enemy in the comic, the Army is able to speak.
===''Donkey Kong Country'' novel===
An individual Army appears as an antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. While the [[Kongs]] are exploring the abandoned mines, Army and [[Slippa]] ambush the group. [[Donkey Kong]] throws a [[barrel]] at Army and the force of the impact knocks him down the tunnel.

Armies also make several small cameo appearances as enemies in the Game Boy Color game ''[[wikipedia:Conker's Pocket Tales|Conker's Pocket Tales]]''.
===Unused appearances===
''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' has [[:File:DK64 Army.png|unused armadillo enemies]], presumably Armies. Although Armies do not appear, the first boss, [[Army Dillo]], is an Army.


An Army can be seen near the end of the trailer for the cancelled game, ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. It is possible that an Army could have been one of the game's rideable creatures as other enemy species, such as [[Zinger]]s were seen to be rideable.

==Trivia==
[[File:DK64 Army.png|thumb|The unused Army model in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
*In the original ''Donkey Kong Country'', Army's defeat sound is a higher-pitched version of that of Donkey Kong's.
*An [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|unused armadillo model]] exists within the ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' kiosk demo, suggesting that Army or a different enemy would have appeared in the game.
*An Army appears near the end of the trailer in ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''.
