Squeekly

Squeeklys are a species of small, blue bat-like enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns. Squeeklys reside in the Cave and Forest regions of Donkey Kong Island, but can be found in most dark areas of the island. Squeeklys mainly attack by flying towards the Kongs and if they hit them the Kongs will lose one heart. Squeeklys can be defeated by jumping on them, shooting them with a peanut, (small ones only), or throwing a barrel at them, however some Squeeklys tend to fly higher than others thus making them hard to reach.
