'''Skittlers''' are arthropod enemies that appear in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. Skittlers resemble and behave like real world spiders, although they only have six feet instead of eight. They appear in both orange and purple varieties.

In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'', purple Skittlers rise and lower on a web thread, falling to the ground if jumped on. While on the ground, they actively go after [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], changing direction towards the characters if jumped over. Some purple Skittlers hanging directly above a pit can instantly be defeated from a jump attack instead of falling down. Orange Skittlers lower from their thread and onto the ground by themselves. When they land, most orange Skittlers act like the purple variety, but some, such as those in the level [[Topsy Turvy]], only proceed to walk towards the playable characters when they touch the ground, and will otherwise walk aimlessly around their platform regardless of where the characters are currently located.
In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', purple Skittlers rise and lower on a web thread but fall to the ground if jumped on. While on the ground, they go after [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] and attempt to injure them. Some purple Skittlers hanging directly above a pit can instantly be defeated from a jump attack instead of falling down. Orange Skittlers are more passive and slowly drop from their web regardless of the [[Kong]]s' actions. When they reach the ground, orange Skittlers proceed to crawl toward the Kongs, but continue to walk in the same direction even if the Kongs jump over them.


If the Kongs are touched by a Skittler, they lose a heart point. The Kongs cannot approach a Skittler with a [[Roll Attack]] if it hangs from a thread, though other attacks are effective against it. When on land, Skittlers can be defeated by any attack, including a roll.
