Barbos the Sea Lurchin.

Barbos is a giant Lurchin and possibly the "mother" of most of the Lurchins encountered in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land 3.

Barbos first appears in Donkey Kong Country 3 as the boss of the area Razor Ridge. Due to the fact Barbos lives underwater in a blood-red lake Dixie and Kiddy Kong can only fight Barbos by transforming into Enguarde the Swordfish.

Barbos will first attack the Kongs turned swordfish by sending her Lurchin children after them. Enguarde must smash these Lurchins into the spiked balls protecting Barbos. Once these balls are out of the way Enguarde can smah Barbos's soft body.

After being hit Barbos will drop down and begin to shoot shell missiles at Enguarde. Enguarde must lure these shell missiles into the spiked balls protecting Barbos, once the spoiked balls are out of the way again Enguarde can hit Barbos again.

Barbos will drop down a level again and begin to shoot spikes at Enguarde. These spikes must be avoided and Barbos must be hit again. After this hit one more hit will defeat Barbos.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3 Barbos is moved to the new area, Pacifica. Kroctopus takes Barbos's place as the boss of Razor Ridge.

Interestingly, in the Game boy advance version, it takes 4 times to kill Barbos, while in the Snes version it takes 5. This is because during when Barbos shoots her stingers, one of the 3 is cut.

In Donkey Kong Land 3 Barbos returns as the boss of Cape Codswallop. In this battle Enguarde must smash three Lurchins into Barbos's face to defeat her.
