'''Sea creatures'''<ref>"A '''sea creature''' chases you down into the depths when you swim for the letter 'K', but don't be intimidated— wait at the bottom of the pit until he slowly swims away." &ndash; Issue #74 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', page 18</ref><ref>"These '''sea creatures''' swim faster up than down." &ndash; Issue #74 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', page 19</ref> are underwater foes in the classic [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. These commonly found enemies first appear in the second world, [[Kremlantis Kaos|Kremlantis]], and return in numerous other underwater levels in the same game.

When attacking, a sea creature will clap its mantle together and propel itself upwards. After it reaches a point high enough, it will slowly begin to sink. If a [[Kong]] touches this enemy while it is moving throughout the water, he gets damaged and passes out, leaving the other playable buddy, if any, do his job. Sea creatures are oftenly found around several other members of the same species in tight spaces, strategy which increases the difficultly of the levels.

-'''Flappers'''<ref name=Shogakukan>{{file link|Flapper.jpg|''Super Donkey Kong GB Shogakukan Guide Book''}}</ref> are underwater, mussel-like foes appearing only in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. No official {{wp|Western world|Western}} media names them Flappers. However, they are repeatedly described as '''sea creatures''' in Volume 74 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 74|date=July 1995|page=18|quote=A sea creature chases you down into the depths when you swim for the letter 'K', but don't be intimidated— wait at the bottom of the pit until he slowly swims away.}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 74|date=July 1995|page=19|quote=These sea creatures swim faster up than down.}}</ref>, a descriptor that is not used for other aquatic enemies found in the game. The free 24-page booklet of ''Donkey Kong Land'' from UK's ''Nintendo Magazine System'' instead refers to it as '''Nemo''', which is the name of a separate enemy referred to on the same page as [[Nemo|Nautilus]].<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land'', ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet|page=13}}</ref> This is also the case in the magazine issues.<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue #35|page=50|date=August 1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #31|page=64|date=October 1995}}</ref>
-In gameplay, Flappers commonly dwell the second world, [[Kremlantis]], and appear in many underwater levels. When attacking, a Flapper claps its mantle together and propel itself upwards. After it reaches a point high enough, it slowly begins to sink. If a [[Kong]] touches this enemy while it is moving through the water, he gets injured and passes out. Flappers are often encountered in groups and swim in tight spaces to increase difficulty.
