'''Spinies''' are porcupine enemies found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are invulnerable to rear attacks or a stomp because of their pointy quills, but a frontal attack will quickly dispose of them. Occasionally, they are seen with a [[Klampon]] in front, "bodyguarding" them, as Klampons are kind of the opposite of Spiny (invulnerable to front attacks, but vulnerable from top).
