Jellybob (Donkey Kong Country Returns)
Jellybobs[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port. They are encountered in levels of the Beach only. They are based on jellyfish, with an entirely trans-blue color with flat, bulb-shaped heads and wiry tentacles coming out of the ends of their bodies. Jellybobs often bob up and down the gaps between the platforms. Jellybobs can unleash electricity and even surround themselves with it. If Donkey and Diddy Kong get in contact with a Jellybob, they get electrocuted. The Kongs can only defeat a Jellybob by throwing a barrel at it, otherwise they must avoid them.
A special, sparkling Jellybob appears towards the end of Stormy Shore, and defeating it with a barrel rewards the player with five Banana Coins surrounding a Red Balloon.[2]
