'''Lurchins''' are sea urchin-like enemies that appear in the underwater [[level]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', along with some riverside and boardwalk levels. Lurchins have two yellow-spiked, green outer shells, on the top and bottom respectively, and a thin, squishy pink segment connecting both shells. Lurchins face is on the squishy segment, and they have large eyes with bulging, red veins. | |||
'' | |||
In both games, [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] fights a large Lurchin boss known as [[Barbos]], the mother of the Lurchins. | |||
Lurchins | == History == | ||
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''=== | |||
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Lurchins first appear in two [[Bonus Area]]s, but their first appearance outside a Bonus Area is in [[Fish Food Frenzy]]. | |||
Lurchins do not directly attack [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] directly. Instead, they remain stationary or travel up and down in a set path, opening and closing their shell. Some Lurchins move at a faster pace than others. The Kongs must avoid contact with a Lurchin, else it injures the lead [[Kong]]. | |||
In | Like many other underwater enemies, [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] can defeat a Lurchin by stabbing it. However, Enguarde can only stab a Lurchin in its squishy center, because if he touches Lurchin's spiky shell, Enguarde gets injured. In Fish Food Frenzy, [[Nibbla]] is also capable of defeating Lurchins by eating them. However, doing so worsens Nibbla's mood, in contrast to [[Koco]]s, which keep Nibbla at ease. However, Nibbla there is one Lurchin that Nibbla must eat to reveal the path to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. | ||
[[ | |||
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, during the [[Pacifica]] level [[Ripcurl Reef]], there are Lurchins with a yellow shell, purple spikes and a green center. These Lurchins act no different than their normal counterpart. | |||
According to [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]] during the end credits, Lurchins are categorized under the "[[Aquatic Attackers]]" enemy class. | |||
===''Donkey Kong Land III''=== | |||
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Lurchins retain their behavior from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. However, during the boss fight against Barbos, she has a different battle strategy where she sends Lurchins after Enguarde. One of the Lurchins move slowly before stopping, and Enguarde can attack Barbos by stabbing the Lurchin back into Barbos' center. | |||
