'''Barnacle''' is the eldest member of the [[Brothers Bear]], a former scuba diver, and a shell collector. He only appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' He lives in a cabin on [[Barnacle's Island]] in the middle of [[Lake Orangatanga]]. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can swim to the island after completing [[Doorstop Dash]]. When the [[Kong]]s visit, Barnacle mentions that he was formerly a scuba diver before eventually deciding to take it easy at his home. He is proud of his shell collection, which is seen inside his Cabin, behind the Kongs. There is a [[Shell (Donkey Kong Country 3)|shell]] that Barnacle is missing from his collection, so he requests Dixie and Kiddy to locate one for him. They can purchase the shell at [[Bazaar's General Store]] for five [[bear coin]]s. Barnacle has a [[Banana Bird]] in a yellow cage, which he does not want to give away, but eventually trades it to the Kongs in exchange for the shell. In later visits, Barnacle mentions that he misses the Banana Bird and that his shell collection cheers him up.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Barnacle and his location were relocated to [[Pacifica]], while the island on Lake Orangatanga was transferred to [[Bachelor]].
Barnacle is in possession of a [[Banana Bird]], but he is not very fond of it. However, he loves to collect seashells. If the [[Kong]]s give Barnacle the [[Shell (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Shell]] that [[Bazaar]] sells at his general store, he will trade them his Banana Bird in exchange for it.


==Quotes==
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Barnacle is relocated to [[Pacifica]] and can be found in a pirate ship right after [[Dingy Drain-Pipe]]. [[Bachelor]] ends up taking over the island that Barnacle was originally on in [[Lake Orangatanga]].
*"''He just flew in once, so I decided to keep him.''"
*"''You know, I don't think there's anything which would persuade me to get rid of this bird.''"


==General information==
Barnacle makes a reappearance in ''[[Donkey Konga 3: Tabehōdai! Haru Mogitate 50 Kyoku]]'', a game only released in Japan.
===Physical description===
{{br}}
Barnacle wears a white turtleneck with a blue beret. His artwork reveals that he also wears black pants and blue sneakers. Barnacle's outfit was overhauled in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], where his outfit shows him as a retired Revolutionary-age naval captain, complete with a {{wp|bicorne}} hat and {{wp|epaulette}} uniform.


===Name origin===
==Trivia==  
Barnacle shares a name with {{wp|barnacle}}s, a type of underwater arthropod species, which could relate to his former career as a scuba diver, because barnacles are most often found underwater.
*The manual states that he owns the gift shop and charges high prices. In the actual game, it is impossible to spend any [[Bear Coin]]s in his house.
