Squiddicus is an enemy appearing in the game Donkey Kong Country Returns. His only appearance is in Stormy Shore, as one of the main obstacles.
Appearance
Squiddicus is a giant, light orange octopus spikes and suction-like features on his tentacles. He also has big white eyes with black pupils.
Attacks
For most of the time, Squiddicus is just a background enemy that is seen destroying a ship. However, near the end of the level, Squiddicus will try to stop Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong from progressing any further. The foe will stick its tentacles in the Kong's way, which if the Kongs touch one, they will lose a heart. Donkey and Diddy can jump over these tentacles easily, but when they are on turf, they will have to jump from side to to side to maneuver past the tentacles. The Kongs should not stand on any particular platforms for too long. Otherwise, Squiddicus will break them. Squiddicus cannot be defeated by any means.
Trivia
- The way Squiddicus destroys the ship in the background is similar to how ships were sunk by the mythological sea creature, the Kraken (who resembles a giant squid).
- Despite his name, Squiddicus is not a squid; he's an octopus.
- At the very end of the level Boulder Roller a fossil looks very similar to Squiddicus, suggesting there might have been a race of these creatures.
