'''Lemguin''' is a large sharp-billed [[penguin]] encountered in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Lemguin's name is a portmanteau of the animals "[[wikipedia:Lemming|Lemming]]" and "[[wikipedia:Penguin|Penguin]]".
'''Lemguin''' is a large sharp-billed [[wikipedia:Crested penguin|crested penguin]] first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' Its name is a portmanteau of the animals "{{wp|lemming}}" and "{{wp|penguin}}".


In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Lemguins are encountered in one [[level]] in the game, named [[Lemguin Lunge]], which is located in [[K3]]. In this level, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must dodge barrages of Lemguins. These enemies leap from their holes and slide on their bellies, attempting to collide with the [[Kong]]s. A Lemguin can simply be defeated by a single [[jump]] on it, or by any type of [[barrel]]. However, frontal attacks are rendered useless, due to their beaks.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
[[File:Lemguin Lunge DKC3 screenshot.png|150px|left|thumb|The Kongs encounter a couple of Lemguins in Lemguin Lunge]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Lemguins only appear in one [[level]], [[Lemguin Lunge]], where they are the titular feature. Various parts of the level feature an indefinite number of Lemguins jumping out from holes in the snow and sliding on their bellies, attempting to hit [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], similarly to how [[Bazza]]s and [[Swoopy|Swoopies]] spawn indefinitely. A Lemguin can be defeated either from being [[jump]]ed on or by taking a hit from a [[Cartwheel Attack]] or a [[barrel]]. The Kongs cannot defeat Lemguin by rolling into it from the front, as this harms them. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], Lemguins are classified under the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Lemguins jump straight upward before sliding on their belly.


In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Lemguins are found in two levels, [[Polar Pitfalls]] in the area [[Primate Plains]] and [[Tundra Blunda]] in the area [[Blackforest Plateau]]. Here, the attack patterns of Lemguins remain the same and can still be defeated by the same techniques.
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
 
The second and only other game appearance of Lemguins is in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', where they only appear in two levels: [[Polar Pitfalls]] and [[Tundra Blunda]]. They behave no differently than in the previous game. In the [[Game Boy Color]] port, Lemguins have purple-colored sprites.
Lemguins are the land equivalent of [[Bazza]]s and [[Swoopy|Swoopies]], other enemies which possess similar attack patterns to Lemguins. According to the game's credits, Lemguins belong to the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class.
