Neek

Neek are a species of mice that appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as regular enemies. Neek are the regular enemies, replacing Gnawties of the previous game and preceding the Sneeks in Donkey Kong Country 3.

Enemy Description
Neek are common enemies throughout the game, debuting in the first level of DKC2, heavily resembling an actual ship rat. Neeks, aside from realistic mouse noises, function in exactly the same way as Gnawties; wandering forward, sometimes in groups. Thus, simply jumping on their heads or rolling into them defeats them. They are also somewhat common enemies. Like Gnawties, Neeks are the basic "Goombas" of Donkey Kong Country 2.
