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 and Kiddy Kong when touched. To defeat a Bristles, Dixie or Kiddy must roll into it from the front, because otherwise, the Kongs will be hurt from the Bristles' spiky quills, much like with 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 spitting a coconut at it. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Bristles is categorized as part of the Terrorfirma Tuff Guys.
A unique type of Bristles appears in Konveyor Rope Klash of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, and they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy. While curled up, a Bristles can be defeated only from a barrel. In the Game Boy Advance version, this type is also in the Cranky's Dojo minigame, where Cranky has to deflect thirty of them successfully as they bounce his way.
