'''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 shares a name with {{wp|barnacle}}s, a type of underwater arthropod species. This could relate to his former career as a scuba diver, because barnacles are most often found underwater.
