'''Skittlers''' are arthropod enemies that appear in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. Skittlers resemble and behave like real world spiders, although they only have six feet instead of eight. They appear in both orange and purple varieties.

[[File:DKCR Purple Skittler.png|thumb|left|130px|A purple Skittler]]
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. 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 on ground, both purple and orange varieties tend to chase after [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], with specific patterns to their behavior: after they land, they proceed walking towards the Kongs and immediately change direction if the characters jump over them. The Skittlers then walk straight ahead a short distance, during which they do not turn around regardless of where the [[Kong]]s are situated, unless the Skittlers encounter a wall or the end of a platform. Once they fully walk this designated distance, they will turn around should they detect the Kongs in the opposite direction, repeating the pattern so described until defeated. The only exceptions are some purple Skittlers in the stage [[Topsy Turvy]], which always immediately change direction when jumped over. In addition, some Skittlers in the game may walk off a platform instead of turning around at its edge.
In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', purple Skittlers rise and lower on a web thread but fall to the ground if jumped on. While on the ground, they go after [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] and attempt to injure them. Some purple Skittlers hanging directly above a pit can instantly be defeated from a jump attack instead of falling down. Orange Skittlers are more passive and slowly drop from their web regardless of the [[Kong]]s' actions. When they reach the ground, orange Skittlers proceed to crawl toward the Kongs, but continue to walk in the same direction even if the Kongs jump over them.


If the Kongs are touched by a Skittler, they lose a heart point. The Kongs cannot approach a Skittler with a [[Roll Attack]] if it hangs from a thread, though other attacks are effective against it. When on land, Skittlers can be defeated by any attack, including a roll.
