'''Bristles''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. These orange hedgehogs have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] on contact. Bristles are encountered in waterfall levels and jungle levels mainly. A Bristles can be defeated from being rolled into from the front, because their quills harm the [[Kong]]s, much like [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Spinies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are unaffected by a [[team up]] throw, also damaging the Kong in the process. Alternatively, a Bristles can be defeated either from a [[barrel]] or a [[Steel Keg]] being thrown at it, or from [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] spitting a coconut at it. A unique type of Bristles appears in [[Konveyor Rope Klash]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''; they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy and can be defeated only from a barrel in this state. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Bristles is categorized as part of the [[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]].

In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', curled up Bristles have a role in the [[Cranky's Dojo]] minigame, where the goal is for [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] to deflect thirty of them as they bounce at him.
