==History==
'''Armies'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, [[Media:DKC Guide 16-17.jpg|page 16]].</ref> are small armadillo enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.  
===''Donkey Kong Country'' / ''Donkey Kong Land''===
[[File:Army DKC sprite.png|frame|left]]
[[File:Army DKL.png|frame|right]]
Armies are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They behave identically between both games. Armies attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat an Army by jumping on it once, regardless if the enemy is inside its shell or not. [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on an Army twice to defeat it, as when he jumps on a curled up Army, Diddy forces it to its normal position. While an Army is not curled up, Diddy can jump on it another time to defeat it. In ''Donkey Kong Country'' only, Army's defeat sound is a higher-pitched version of that of Donkey Kong's, though not in the remakes.


===''Club Nintendo''===
The first boss of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', [[Army Dillo]], is a giant Army, although the enemies themselves do not appear in the game.
One purple-colored Army is an enemy in ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]." It has the ability to speak, like the other enemies. Army is the first enemy that attacks [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong, the latter defeating it with a [[stomp]].


===''Donkey Kong Country'' novel===
==History==
An individual Army appears as an antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. While the [[Kong]]s are exploring the abandoned mines, Army and [[Slippa]] ambush the group. [[Donkey Kong]] throws a [[barrel]] at Army and the force of the impact knocks him down the tunnel.

Armies first appear in ''Donkey Kong Country''; they attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat an Army by jumping on it once, regardless if the enemy is inside its shell or not. [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on an Army twice to defeat it, as when he jumps on a curled up Army, Diddy forces it to its normal position. While an Army is not curled up, Diddy can jump on it another time to defeat it.


===Unused appearances===
Armies are the fifth and final pair of enemies that [[Dumb Drum]] releases during the boss fight, [[Boss Dumb Drum]].
[[File:DK64 Army.png|thumb|The unused Army model in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' has unused armadillo enemies, presumably Armies. Although Armies do not appear, the first boss, [[Army Dillo]], is an Army.


An Army appears near the end of the trailer in ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''.
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Donkey Kong can [[Hand Slap]] an Army to obtain a [[photograph]] for the first page of the [[scrapbook]].


==Profiles==
Armies appear in five normal levels:
