Variant of Squidly

Electrasquids[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port. They are a red variant of Squidlys with a whirling spiked blue cone on their head. Like Squidlys, an indefinite number of Electrasquids are also fired out from the Squid Shots. Electrasquids constantly emit blue electricity, and contact with them costs the Kongs a heart point. Every Electrasquid eventually hits a wall, defeating it, but they can be defeated prematurely from being hit by a barrel.
