Lemguin

Template:Species-infobox Lemguin is a large sharp-billed penguin encountered in the games Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and Donkey Kong Land III.

In Donkey Kong Country 3, Lemguins are encountered in one level in the game, named Lemguin Lunge located in K3. In this level, Dixie and Kiddy Kong must dodge barrages of Lemguins. These enemies leaps from their holes and slides on their bellies, attempting to collide with the Kongs. A Lemguin can simply be defeated by a single jump on it or by any type of barrel.

In Donkey Kong Land III, Lemguins are found in two levels, Polar Pitfalls in the area Primate Plains and Tundra Blunda in the area Blackforest Plateau. Here, the attack patterns of Lemguins remain the same and can still be defeated by the same techniques.

Lemguins are the land equivalent of Bazzas and Swoopies, other enemies which possess similar attack patterns to Lemguins.
