| '''Porcupals'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier|location=Roseville|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=13|date=February 21, 2014|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=978-0-804-16252-4}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. These short porcupine-like creatures have long, pointed red bristles on their back. They 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 [[Kong]]s, 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. In [[Frantic Fields]], there are curled up, flaming Porcupals carried around by the [[wind]], and they cannot be defeated.

| | Porcupals attack by burning the player with the flame around them. However, the flame eventually goes out, and the Kongs have a chance to roll into the Porcupal to defeat it. Alternatively, [[Rambi]] can run into them to defeat them. |
