'''Porcupals'''{{refneeded}} are short creatures similar to porcupines that own the role of enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They have red bristles on their backs (which makes them similar in appearance with [[Bristles|an enemy]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''.); these bristles are long and pointed towards their rear. Porcupals also sport long, turned-up snouts with small tusks. They always seem mad because of their frowned figures, which are enclosed between two rather tiny ears for each enemy.
'''Porcupals'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 13.</ref> are short porcupine-like enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They have long, pointed red bristles on their back (similar to [[Bristles]] enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''). Porcupals have long, turned-up snouts with small tusks and have a frowned face. Porcupals only appear in the [[Bright Savannah]] levels.


Like most enemies, Porcupals start out walking back and forth in an area. Upon noticing the Kongs, Porcupal's bristles go on fire and turn darker and sharper. In this state, Porcupals can only be defeated by [[Water Sack|water sacks]], [[barrel]]s or other throwable objects. A Porcupal's flames eventually die out, allowing the Kongs to defeat it by a [[Roll Attack]] or by [[stomp]]ing on it. [[Donkey Kong]] can [[Hand Slap|Ground Pound]] near a Porcupal to stun it and, if burning, extinguish the fire on it. [[Rambi the Rhino]] can defeat a Porcupal when its flames are put out, though if Rambi gets hit by a Porcupal's fire, the Kongs lose him.

Porcupals defend themselves from the [[Kong]]s with flames; once the heroes get close to one Porcupal, its bristles will spawn fire and turn darker, sharper. In this state, the Porcupal cannot receive any attack that involves physical contact from the Kongs; however, water fruits, [[barrel]]s or any other throwable objects can put an end to them even when lit by fire. If the Porcupal does not get defeated while so, its flames will eventually go out, and the Kongs finally have a chance to [[Barrel Roll (move)|roll]] into or [[stomp]] onto the Porcupal to defeat it. [[Rambi the Rhino]] can also destroy Porcupals, but only once they put out their flames, as Rambi is vulnerable to fire or any other source of lightning, such as [[Blue Hootz]].


Porcupals appear in [[Frantic Fields]], [[Scorch 'n' Torch]], [[Rickety Rafters]], and [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Bramble Scramble]]. In Frantic Fields, there are curled up, flaming Porcupals carried around by the wind; they cannot be defeated and must be avoided by the Kongs.
Porcupals are only found in [[Bright Savannah]], and they can be seen roaming without problem in natural distaster levels like [[Frantic Fields]] or [[Scorch 'n' Torch]]. They can also be found in [[Rickety Rafters]], as well as in [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Bramble Scramble]].
