+'''Snaggles''' are acquatic enemies in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'']] series that resemble chubby {{wp|great white shark}}s. They periodically jump high above the water, making a barking noise similar to a puppy's.
-'''Snaggles'''<ref>"Critters 1 Gallery" in the "Extras" section of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.</ref><ref>Michael Knight, ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 26</ref><ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> are enemies that appear in several ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games, starting with ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They resemble chubby [[Wikipedia:Great white shark|great white sharks]] and come in two distinct colors: gray and yellow.
-Gray Snaggleses will stick their heads out of water for a few seconds before jumping in the air in an attempt to eat [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. However, [[Yellow Snaggles]] occasionally strike without warning, and will jump out of the water immediately. While they attack, Snaggles bark playfully, similarly to a small dog. Snaggles appear in the [[Beach]] area and in the [[Ruins]] level [[Damp Dungeon]], where a [[Mega Snaggles]] also appears. The only way to defeat a Snaggles is by tossing a [[barrel]].
+==History==
+===''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''===
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', Snaggles appear in levels of the [[Beach]] world and a [[Ruins]] level, [[Damp Dungeon]]. They have a repeated pattern of peeking out of the water for a few seconds and then performing a high jump out of it, attempting to bite [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]].
-In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', Snaggles, as well as Yellow Snaggles, will chase the [[Kong]]s if they are underwater.
+Snaggles have a variant named [[Yellow Snaggles]], which immediately jump out the water, sometimes without prior warning. A [[Giga Rangwi|larger variant]] appears at the end of Damp Dungeon.
-==Trivia==
+The [[Prima Games|Prima]] Guide for ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' refers to Snaggles as '''Nibbles''';<ref>{{cite|author=Knight, Michael; Musa, Alexander|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' Prima Official Game Guide|page=26}}</ref> however, the in-game gallery still refers to the enemy as Snaggles.
-*The [[Prima Games|Prima]] Guide for ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' refers to Snaggles as "Nibbles", and Super Snaggles as "Jumping Nibbles".
+===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], they appear in [[Lost Mangroves]] and [[Sea Breeze Cove]]. Snaggles act the same way as they did in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' on the surface, and chase the [[Kong]]s if they see them underwater. Snaggles can only be defeated by the [[Kong]]s throwing a [[barrel]] at it, or by [[Cranky Kong]]'s cane.
