+'''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''' are enemies that resemble chubby {{wp|great white shark}}s. They appear in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', its Nintendo 3DS remake ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]].
-==Physical appearance==
+==History==
-Snaggles have a dark blue back and a white underside with a rounded belly. They have a large head and large shark fangs sticking out of their mouths. Parts of their body are shaped like a triangle, and Snaggles have tail fins shaped like a hook.
+===''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]].
-==Description==
+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.

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]]. When they jump out the water, Snaggles make a barking noise similar to a puppy's.
-In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', 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.
+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.
