'''Squitter''' is an [[Animal Friend]] first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' He is a large orange-and-black haired spider who wears four pairs of orange-white shoes. While most real-world spiders produce silk from their backsides, Squitter is able to shoot it from his mouth. However, members of the spider family Scytodidae are actually able to spit harmful venom-infused silk from their chelicerae, and Squitter even resembles these spiders, as both have an orange coloration with dark spots, though the similarity is coincidental.<ref>{{cite|author=@WinkySteve|language=en|date=February 25, 2019|url=x.com/WinkySteve/status/1100062350990815232?s=20|title=No internet in those days to research the finer points of spitting spiders, so we just made stuff up.

'''Squitter''' is a large orange-and-black haired spider and an [[Animal Friend]] in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. He is one of the few spiders in said franchise to actually have eight legs, whereas most others, such as [[Small Spider]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' and [[Skittler]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', have six. Despite this, Squitter still lacks some spider features, such as multiple eyes and chelicerae. He also wears four pairs of orange-white shoes, which resemble those worn by another Animal Buddy, [[Expresso the Ostrich]].

====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''====
Squitter is an ally in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Squitter now has the ability to jump on enemies to defeat them, not counting foes that are normally unaffected by jump attacks, such as [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]]. This ability was not retained for the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]].
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Squitter reprises his role, keeping mostly the same characteristics. Unlike in the previous game, Squitter can now defeat enemies by jumping on them, although it is no more effective than the Kongs' jump attack, because he cannot defeat stronger enemies like [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es this way. This ability was removed from the [[Game Boy Advance]] version.
