'''Armies''' are little armadillo enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. They attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. When an Army is rolled up, [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on it twice to defeat it, while Donkey Kong can get rid of it with a single jump. Because of their speed and toughness, Armies are annoying enemies. [[Army Dillo]] from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' is a giant Army, although the enemy species did not appear in the game.

Armies are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They behave identically between both games. Armies attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat an Army by jumping on it once, regardless if the enemy is inside its shell or not. [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on an Army twice to defeat it, as when he jumps on a curled up Army, Diddy forces it to its normal position. While an Army is not curled up, Diddy can jump on it another time to defeat it. In ''Donkey Kong Country'' only, Army's defeat sound is a higher-pitched version of that of Donkey Kong's, though not in the remakes.


An Army, purple in color, appears in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]". It is the first enemy in this comic to attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Diddy defeats it by simply [[jump]]ing on. Like every enemy in the comic, the Army is able to speak.

It has the ability to speak, like the other enemies. Army is the first enemy that attacks [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong, the latter defeating it with a [[stomp]].


Armies also make several small appearances as enemies in the Game Boy Color game ''[[Conker's Pocket Tales]]''.

An Army can be seen near the end of the trailer for the now apparently cancelled game, ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. It is possible that an Army could have been one of the game's rideable creatures as other enemy species, such as [[Zinger]]s were seen to be rideable.
