'''Skittlers'''<ref>"Critters 1 Gallery" in the "Extras" section of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.</ref> are arthropod enemies inhabiting the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They look and behave like spiders, although they only have six feet instead of eight, and are divided into an orange and a purple variety.

Purple Skittlers rise and lower on a web thread until forced to drop down with a stomp attack, after which they give chase to the [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] in an attempt to injure them. A few purple Skittlers hanging directly above a pit will perish immediately from a stomp attack, instead of falling down. Orange Skittlers, on the other hand, are more passive and will slowly land on the ground regardless of the [[Kong]]s' actions. Once they reach the ground, orange Skittlers proceed to crawl towards the Kongs, but will ignore them and continue to go further if avoided.

The Kongs will lose a heart point after mere contact with a Skittler. They cannot approach a Skittler with a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]] if the enemy is hanging from a thread, though other attacks will work. However, once on its feet, the enemy can be defeated with any attack, including a roll.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', several Skittlers can be seen in the background of the level [[Forest Folly]], frozen in blocks of ice.

-In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'', and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD'', purple Skittlers rise and lower on a web thread, falling to the ground if jumped on. While on the ground, they actively go after [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], changing direction towards the characters if jumped over. Some purple Skittlers hanging directly above a pit can instantly be defeated from a jump attack instead of falling down. Orange Skittlers lower from their thread and onto the ground by themselves. When they land, most orange Skittlers act like the purple variety, but some, such as those in the level [[Topsy Turvy]], only proceed to walk towards the playable characters when they touch the ground, and will otherwise walk aimlessly around their platform regardless of where the characters are currently located.
