'''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 (fish)|Snapjaw]]s, enemy fishes from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Like Snapjaws, Nibblas will follow the Kongs throughout a level ready to chomp down on either [[Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] if they fall into the water. Nibblas mostly appear in levels that have boardwalks in them. They are completely invulnerable and cannot be harmed.

Additionally, an unnamed Nibbla is a pseudo Animal Buddy who follows Kiddy Kong and Dixie Kong through level "[[Fish Food Frenzy]]" as a friend to the Kongs — so long as the player keeps it well-fed (although in any other level, it is a ferocious Kong hunter). If Kiddy and Dixie continually feed Nibbla [[Koco]]s, he will remain blue, smiling contently as he 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 him enough, his mood will gradually worsen until he finally satisfies his hunger by attacking a Kong.

'''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]].
Nibbla's color determines his mood in that level. When blue, he's friendly. When purple, he shows a frown.  When orange, he shows his fangs, but won't attack yet. Lastly, when red, Nibbla will attack the Kongs with a swift bite. On a side note, when a Kong is lost, Nibbla's mood may improve depending on the circumstances.

Although an enemy, Nibbla shows some features similar to an animal buddy, just as the aid from it for a [[Bonus Barrel]] game, where Kongs have to get rid Kocos 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 buddy.
