'''Nibblas''' are red-orange, carnivorous fish enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Nibblas behave similarly to [[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 then. One difference that Nibblas have from Snapjaws is that they cannot swim through walls. Nibblas are one of the few enemies from the game that do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

Nibblas appear in three levels: [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], [[Kreeping Klasps]], and [[Fish Food Frenzy]]. Fish Food Frenzy features a unique Nibbla that follows behind the Kongs throughout the level, eating the underwater enemies in their path. 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 [[Aquatic Attackers]] enemy class.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|version]], Nibblas also appear in the [[Pacifica]] level [[Stormy Seas]] and the [[Kaos Kore]] level [[Lightning Lookout]].
