The '''Skellirex'''<ref>"Critters 2 Gallery" in the "Extras" section of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.</ref> is an undead skeletal dinosaur-like enemy that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They have a small body and a large head. They first appear in the level [[Tumblin' Temple]], but they mostly appear in the [[Cliff]] world. In [[Prehistoric Path]], there are Skellirexes riding in [[Mine Cart]]s.
The '''Skellirex''' is an undead skeletal dinosaur-like enemy that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They have a small body and a large head. They first appear in the level [[Tumblin' Temple]], but they mostly appear in the [[Cliff]] world. In [[Prehistoric Path]], there are Skellirexes riding in [[Mine Cart]]s.


Like most enemies, Skellirexes have a repeated pattern of walking left then right. If the [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] come in contact with a Skellirex, it bites them and they lose a heart. The [[Kong]]s can safely attack Skellirexes with any attack. By doing so, the Skellirex loses its body, and its head detaches and forms into a [[Skullyrex]]. The Kongs can instantly defeat a Skellirex by directly attacking its head, and they can also instantly defeat the Mine Cart-riding Skellirexes by jumping on them.

A Skellirex appears in concept artwork, where it more closely resembles a {{wp|Tyrannosaurus}} and is missing its crest.
