'''Nibblas''' are red-orange, carnivorous fish enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' that behave like [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Snapjaw]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Nibblas are entirely invulnerable to attack, and they swim through the water quickly, following [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] around a level. If the [[Kong]]s fall into the water, the Nibbla charges into them and bites. One difference that Nibblas have from Snapjaws is that they cannot swim through walls. They do not return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', unlike most enemies.


Nibblas appear in three levels: [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], [[Kreeping Klasps]], and [[Fish Food Frenzy]]. Fish Food Frenzy features a unique Nibbla that eats underwater enemies along the way while following the Kongs throughout. The Nibbla changes color depending on its mood. When it is blue, the Nibbla is happy; to keep this mood, Nibbla has to eat [[Koco]]s along the way. If Nibbla turns purple, it starts to frown; if it is light pink, its fangs begin to show; and if the Nibbla is bright red, it swiftly bites the lead Kong then changes back into light pink. If Nibbla eats a [[Lurchin]], its mood worsens, although there is Lurchin near the end of the level that guards the path to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. A [[No Animal Sign]] of Nibbla appears at the end of Fish Food Frenzy, but it is different from those of the actual [[Animal Friends]] because the Nibbla does not cross and stays behind. Aside from levels, a Nibbla's only other appearance is as a photograph in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], categorized as part of the [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album#Aquatic Attackers|Aquatic Attackers]] enemy class. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], they also appear in the [[Pacifica]] level [[Stormy Seas]] and the [[Kaos Kore]] level [[Lightning Lookout]].

==Profiles==
'''Nibblas''' are carnivorous fish enemies found in a few levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''.

Nibblas are similar to [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Snapjaw]]s, enemy fishes from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Like Snapjaws, Nibblas will follow the [[Kong]]s throughout a level, ready to chomp down on either [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] if they fall into the water; however, unlike Snapjaws, Nibblas cannot go through walls. They are completely invulnerable and cannot be harmed. According to the game's credits, Nibbla belongs to the "[[Aquatic Attackers]]" enemy class.

While most Nibbla are colored orange, and will always attack the Kongs, one Nibbla is a pseudo [[Animal Friend]] who follows Kiddy Kong and Dixie Kong throughout the level, "[[Fish Food Frenzy]]." This Nibbla serves as a friend to the Kongs, so long as they keep it well-fed, and its color determines its mood in that level. When blue, it's friendly; when purple, it shows a frown; when light pink, it shows its fangs, but won't attack the Kongs yet; when red, it will attack the Kongs with a swift bite. If Kiddy and Dixie continually feed that Nibbla [[Koco]]s, it will remain blue, smiling contently as it follows the Kongs throughout the level. However, if the Kongs feed Nibbla one of the many spiny-shelled [[Lurchin]]s scattered throughout the level, or simply fails to feed it enough, its mood will gradually worsen until it finally satisfies its hunger by attacking a Kong. If a player is lucky while Nibbla is still red and a Koco is around (unless they manage to keep dodging Nibbla until it happens), Nibbla may attack it while in that state, and revert back to a light pink color, rendering it harmless to the Kongs again, unless it's not fed more Kocos. While it is generally detrimental to feed Nibbla Lurchins, one specific Lurchin near the end of the level guards the path to a [[Bonus Barrel]].
 
Although normally an enemy, Nibbla shows some features similar to that of an Animal Friend. It is used for a [[Bonus Barrel]] game, where the Kongs have to get rid of Kocos by feeding Nibbla in order to earn a [[Bonus Coin]]. Additionally, there is a [[No Animal Sign|"No Nibbla" Sign]] at the end of the "Fish Food Frenzy" level. However, no reward is given when bringing Nibbla past it, as Nibbla simply remains behind the sign, instead of transforming into a prize like an Animal Friend.
