'''Wild Wendells'''<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick and Cory Van Grier|date=2014|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en|isbn=978-0-804-16252-4|page=14}}</ref> are reptilian [[List of enemies|enemies]] appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They are blue-skinned tortoises wearing pilot gear, in keeping with the island's plane wreck motif. They have a large, round shell on their back.

Wild Wendells only appear in the first island, [[Lost Mangroves]]. Their first appearance is in the very first level, [[Mangrove Cove]], where a group of green, Wild Wendell lookalikes can also be seen lounging on a background isle. However, these individuals only pose as decoration.

Wild Wendells appear on both land and water, moving slowly from side to side. They do not actively attack the [[Kong]]s but still take away a heart upon direct contact. A [[stomp]] on a land Wild Wendell causes it to temporarily retreat inside its shell for a short time, similarly to [[Koopa Troopa]]s from the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. While it is immobilized inside its shell, [[Donkey Kong]] can pick up the Wild Wendell and defeat it by throwing it. The Wild Wendell can also be used as a projectile to knock out other enemies and obstacles, or even to break fragile walls usually leading to hidden items or a [[Bonus Level]]. The Kongs can also defeat Wild Wendells from a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]].

The Kongs cannot stun and pick up aquatic Wild Wendells, although they can bounce on them indefinitely; this is useful for reaching higher areas. These Wild Wendells can only be defeated by using a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|corkscrew]] attack on its belly.
