| | '''Squidlies''' are enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' that are shot out of Turrets and their sub-species are [[Electrasquid]]s. They can be defeated by any of [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]]'s attacks and can mainly be defeated by being hit against a wall. They move in a straight line in the direction that the Turret is pointing at. Inside of the Turrets, it is easier to predict when a Squidly will be shot by looking at the eyes peeking out of the Turret. According to its concept artwork, it is revealed that a crab controls the Turret. It may be either [[Snaps]] or [[Pinchley]]. They are the Donkey Kong equivalent of [[Bullet Bill]]s because they are shot out of cannons and go left or right. |

They are squid-like torpedos that are indefinitely fired from [[Squid Shot]]s. Squidlys have an electrical variant named [[Electrasquid]]. When fired out from a Squid Shot, Squidlys slowly move in a straight line, either left or right (depending on where the Kongs are located). Squidlys get destroyed once they hit a wall, or they damage [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] upon contact. The [[Kong]]s can defeat a Squidly by jumping on them.

| Squidlys seem to have design origins from the {{wp|orthoceras}}, a {{wp|genus}} of extinct {{wp|cephalopod}}s with external shells and no feeding tentacles, similar to Squidly.
