Croctopus

Croctopus is an aquatic enemy in Donkey Kong Country. It comes in two variants - the blue and yellow, as shown here, and a purple and yellow type.

Croctopus will always chase Donkey and Diddy. The blue and yellow will follow you along whatever path you take but the purple and yellow type have a specific path along which they swim. Croctopus rotates as it swims and this makes it very speedy. Try not to get hung up on any corners or take any wrong turns, or else Donkey or Diddy will be knocked out.

Note that Enguarde cannot defeat Croctopus, but he can help you beat a hasty path towards the exit.
