'''Kroctopus''' is a large green monstrosity and a boss in the Game Boy Advance remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''.

In the remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' Kroctopus replaces [[Barbos]] as the boss of the area [[Razor Ridge]]. Due to the fact that Kroctopus is half-hidden underwater [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] cannot fight it directly. Instead the Kongs must trick Kroctopus into setting off bombs that drop from the sky with its crab clawed tentacles.

After being caught in the explosion of the bombs several times Kroctopus will begin to try and attack the Kongs at a much faster pace, its eyes also grow angrier and its color darkens. Eventually after being caught in explosions nine times Kroctopus will be defeated.

== Trivia ==

* Despite sharing its name with a semi-common enemy named [[Croctopus]] from the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' game Kroctopus and a Croctopus look nothing alike. The most notable differences are that Kroctopus is gigantic, green and has crab like claws on its tentacles, whereas Croctopus are about the size of a [[Kong]], are blue in color and have no claws on their tentacles.

-'''Kroctopus''' is a large, green sea monster and the sixth boss in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. Kroctopus is the boss of [[Razor Ridge]] and is fought in the boss level, [[Kroctopus Krush]]. It replaces [[Barbos]] from the original version, whose boss level was relocated to [[Pacifica]].
-==Description==
-[[File:Kroctopus Krush DKC3 GBA.png|thumb|left]]
-Kroctopus is always partially submerged underwater, and its whole body is never shown. It has five extendable limbs, each one being made up of spheres, and a claw at the tip of every limb. Kroctopus does not have flexible limbs, and only moves them in a straight direction. As with other underwater enemies, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] cannot fight Kroctopus directly. Instead, during the battle, the [[Kong]]s must avoid being pinched by Kroctopus throughout the battle. Eventually, a purple bomb falls onto the stage, and the Kongs can injure Kroctopus by standing at the bomb and then jumping out the way as Kroctopus extends its arm toward it. This causes Kroctopus to be hurt from the bomb's explosion.
-After taking three hits, Kroctopus starts attacking the Kongs at a faster pace; it becomes visibly angrier, and its body color changes to red-orange. After taking three more hits, Kroctopus gets even angrier, and its body turns red while its eyes turn pink. In this phase, Kroctopus attacks with two limbs at a time, its center limb always being one of them. After hitting three more bombs, or nine in total, Kroctopus is defeated and retreats back into the lake.
