'''Sneek''' are the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' equivalent of the [[Neek]], being exactly like that enemy. Ellie the Elephant, in classic cartoonish form, will get spooked if she sees one, causing her to run in panic (an entire Krematoa level centers around this). In the game's semi-sequel, ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Ellie seems to have overcome this fear.

'''Sneeks''', also referred to as '''Squeals''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 90|date=November 1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English|page=28 and 29}}</ref> are big rat enemies which first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and later return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Sneeks are one of the weakest enemies in both games, and always move around in a back and forth pattern. In this regard, they behave as the successor of two rodent enemies: [[Neek]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and [[Gnawty|Gnawties]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Sneeks appear in various environments, commonly mills, forests, jungles, and mountain ranges.


Contrasting Neeks' more cartoony appearance, Sneeks have a more realistic and menacing appearance. In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Sneeks have gray fur, although official artwork shows it with brown fur. Sneeks have a battered appearance due to having notches on both ears.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
[[File:Murky Mill.png|thumb|Ellie gets scared of a Sneek in Murky Mill]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Sneeks play a major role in a few levels, the first of which is [[Murky Mill]]; the level shows that [[Ellie]] is scared of Sneeks. Since most of the level is dark, Ellie does not get scared of Sneeks unless they are shown underneath a spotlight. If Ellie approaches a Sneek under a spotlight, she gets scared and runs a short distance away. Ellie can only pass a Sneek in a spotlight if she picks up a nearby [[barrel]] and throws it at the enemy. [[Squeals on Wheels]] is the second level where Sneeks have a major appearance. In the level, each Sneek is running in a large, wooden mill. [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can only pass through a nearby gate if they defeat the Sneek corresponding to it. The [[Kong]]s can only defeat these Sneeks by throwing a [[Steel Keg]] at them. Every Sneek must be defeated for the final door to open. The third level is [[Stampede Sprint]], which also revolves around Ellie's fear of them. Near the start of the level, Ellie sees three Sneeks, which gives her a big scare. As a result, Ellie stampedes away for most of the level.
 
In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a photograph of Sneek appears under the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class.
 
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Sneeks have the same sound effect as Neeks from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. In the original game, Sneeks are sped up and higher-pitched.
 
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Sneeks appear in almost every level. Sneeks retain their behavior and patterns from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Unlike before, Ellie is no longer scared of Sneeks.
