'''Bristles''' are orange hedgehog enemies encountered mainly in waterfall levels and jungle levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] when touched. To defeat a Bristles, Dixie or Kiddy must roll into it from the front, otherwise the [[Kong]]s will be hurt from the Bristles' spiky quills, much like with [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are immune to a [[team up]] throw, which even damages the Kong thrown. Alternatively, a Bristles can be defeated either from a [[barrel]] or a [[Steel Keg]] being thrown at it, or from [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] spitting a coconut at it. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Bristles is categorized as part of the [[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]].
