Snaggles are aquatic enemies in the Donkey Kong Country series that resemble chubby great white sharks. They periodically jump high above the water, making a barking noise similar to a puppy's.

History

Donkey Kong Country Returns / Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

In Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Snaggles appear in levels of the Beach world and a Ruins level, Damp Dungeon. They have a repeated pattern of peeking out of the water for a few seconds and then performing a high jump, attempting to bite Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.

Snaggles have a variant named Yellow Snaggles, which immediately jump out the water, sometimes without prior warning. A larger variant appears at the end of Damp Dungeon.

The Prima Guide for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D refers to Snaggles as Nibbles;[1] however, the in-game gallery still refers to the enemy as Snaggles.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port, they appear in Lost Mangroves and Sea Breeze Cove. Snaggles act the same way as they did in Donkey Kong Country Returns on the surface, and chase the Kongs if they see them underwater. Snaggles can only be defeated by the Kongs throwing a barrel at it, or by Cranky Kong's cane.
