==General information==
===Physical description===
[[File:MuglyBattle5-DKCR.png|thumb|Mugly is red in the third and final phase of the battle]]
Mugly is a monster-like boss who is yellow at first. He walks on all fours and has a huge mouth with many white, crooked teeth. Mugly has two lazy eyes and is covered with red spikes that he can willfully retract. During Mugly's second phase, he becomes orange instead of yellow. In Mugly's third and final phase, he turns from orange to red. There is a target-like design on his back, which the Kongs must jump on during the battle while Mugly's spikes are retracted.


Mugly is fought in the boss level, [[Mugly's Mound]] at the end of the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] world. Mugly is hypnotized by [[Tiki Tak Tribe#Kalimba|Kalimba]] just before the battle starts. Mugly has two basic attacks: one is running from one side of the arena to the next with his mouth open, while the other is jumping high and attempting to land down onto Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. During both attacks, Mugly's spikes are retracted, allowing the Kongs to do a jump attack onto him. Mugly moves quicker when he turns orange, even more so when he is red. In both phases, when Mugly performs a high jump and lands, he generates a large shockwave. While either orange or red, if the Kongs avoid Mugly as he charges at them, he may hit into a wall, causing Mugly to become dizzy temporarily and giving the Kongs a brief opportunity to jump onto Mugly. Sometimes Mugly walks to the other side of the arena with his back arched and his spikes extended, but sometimes his spikes are retracted, leaving his weak spot exposed to attack unless he was hit the third and sixth time. When Mugly runs into the Kongs with his mouth open, he eats them and chews on them for a few seconds before spitting them out, causing the Kongs to lose a heart. When Mugly's mouth is open, Diddy Kong can shoot peanuts into Mugly's mouth and after a certain amount of peanuts are eaten, Mugly stops to chew on the peanuts for a few seconds, leaving his weak spot exposed. (Mugly's mouth also opens in the first phase when jumping, but keeps it shut in the second and third phase.)
===Attacks===
Mugly only has four attacks. His basic attack consists of him running from one side of the arena to the other. During this time, his spikes are retracted, which makes him vulnerable to a jump attack. Mugly can also bounce along the stage, trying to crush Donkey and Diddy beneath him. His spikes are also retracted during this attack.


==Profiles and statistics==
Mugly performs the same moves in the second and third phases of the battle except faster than the previous phase of the battle. In the latter two phases, Mugly creates a huge shockwave from landing. In both phases, if Mugly hits into a wall, he becomes dizzy temporarily; the Kongs have an opportunity to jump on Mugly.

|desc=Mugly doesn't even peel bananas before eating them! Maybe he gets his yellow skin that way. I'm sure he's a lovable monster when he isn't controlled by evil Tikis. When he charges, his spikes go away—maybe so he can go faster? It definitely exposes his weak spot...

|desc2=You know how eating carrots all the time can turn you orange? If bananas have a similar effect, that might explain Mugly. His spikes retract whenever he charges, which is either a sign of his better nature when he's not hypnotised by the Tiki Tak Tribe, or just a regular old weak point!
