'''Nids''', also known as '''Springin' Spiders''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 90|date=November 1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English|page=32}}</ref> are large jumping spiders encountered in the hollow tree stages of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and in its [[Game Boy]] sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They act as bouncing platforms and have a plank of wood on them for [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] to sit on. Like [[Arich]], Nid's name is derived from "arachnid", a real world class in which spiders belong in.

Nids are categorized under the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]]. Despite this classification, Nids do not injure the [[Kong]]s and are closer in behavior to [[Animal Friend]]s.

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Nids only appear in two levels of [[Kremwood Forest]], [[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]] and [[Springin' Spiders]]. Only one Nid appears in Barrel Shield Bust-Up, while Nids appear throughout Springin' Spiders. They either hop up and down in a fixed, vertical position or in an arc pattern. Nids appear in yellow and pink variations, with the yellow ones jumping around nonstop while the pink Nids only jump while being sat on. Dixie and Kiddy are usually required to be on a Nid so that it can carry them up to a higher part of the level. Nids sometimes assist the Kongs with reaching a [[Bonus Area]]. Nids can sometimes injure the Kongs indirectly by bouncing them into a [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]. The Kongs can carry a [[Barrel]] on a Nid, but it usually breaks, even if they hold on to it.

There are two color variants of Nids, and both have slightly different behavior: the yellow Nids jump around nonstop while the purple Nids only jump when the Kongs sit on them.
