Slippas are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Slippas move by slithering on the ground. Slippas can be defeated from any attack, including being rolled into, jumped on, or from a [[barrel]]. A Slippa makes a hissing noise when defeated. In [[Misty Mine]], Slippas are released from some [[black drum]]s indefinitely.


The first appearance of Slippas is in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' where they, along with [[Gnawty]]s and [[Zinger]]s are one of the most common [[enemies]]. Slippas also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They are essentially the same [[Enemies|enemy]] in either [[Games|game]]. Slippas are mostly found in mines, caves and occasionally factories. The [[Bosses|boss]] [[Dumb Drum]] also creates Slippas.

Sometimes [[Oil Drum]]s and other types of [[barrel]]s will continually spawn an endless number of Slippas until destroyed. The [[Kongs]] can also do a roll out attack to defeat them.
