A '''Bristles''' is an enemy in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. These small hedgehogs replace [[Spiny (Donkey Kong)|Spinies]] from [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]. They are mostly found in waterfall levels (such as [[Tracker Barrel Trek]]) and jungle levels (such as [[Konveyor Rope Klash]]). Since they are porcupines, their quills are deadly, and obviously they cannot be jumped on.

'''Bristles''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. These orange hedgehogs have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] on contact. Bristles are encountered in waterfall levels and jungle levels mainly. A Bristles can be defeated from being rolled into from the front, because their quills harm the [[Kong]]s, much like [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Spinies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are unaffected by a [[team up]] throw, also damaging the Kong in the process. 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. A unique type of Bristles appears in [[Konveyor Rope Klash]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''; they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy and can be defeated only from a barrel in this state. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Bristles is categorized as part of the [[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]].


To defeat one, [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] must make an attack on the front while one of the baddies is walking about, as the rear and top are very prickly.  Also, unlike the Spinies, Bristles are actually immune to the Kongs' team up attacks since throwing [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] at one with just get him/her injured.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', curled up Bristles have a role in the [[Cranky's Dojo]] minigame, where the goal is for [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] to deflect thirty of them as they bounce at him.
