'''Lemguin''' is a large sharp-billed [[wikipedia:Crested penguin|crested penguin]] first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' Its name is a portmanteau of the animals "{{wp|lemming}}" and "{{wp|penguin}}".


In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Lemguins are encountered in one [[level]] in the game, the aptly named "[[Lemguin Lunge]]". In this level, which is located in the area [[K3]], [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] had to dodge barrages of Lemguins as they leaped from their holes and slid on their bellies, attempting to collide with the [[Kong]]s. A Lemguin could be defeated by simply [[jump]]ing on it.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
[[File:Lemguin Lunge DKC3 screenshot.png|150px|left|thumb|The Kongs encounter a couple of Lemguins in Lemguin Lunge]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Lemguins only appear in one [[level]], [[Lemguin Lunge]], where they are the titular feature. Various parts of the level feature an indefinite number of Lemguins jumping out from holes in the snow and sliding on their bellies, attempting to hit [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], similarly to how [[Bazza]]s and [[Swoopy|Swoopies]] spawn indefinitely. A Lemguin can be defeated either from being [[jump]]ed on or by taking a hit from a [[Cartwheel Attack]] or a [[barrel]]. The Kongs cannot defeat Lemguin by rolling into it from the front, as this harms them. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], Lemguins are classified under the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Lemguins jump straight upward before sliding on their belly.


In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]'', Lemguins are found in two levels, "[[Polar Pitfalls]]" in the area [[Primate Plains]] and "[[Tundra Blunda]]" in the area [[Blackforest Plateau]]. Here the attack patterns of Lemguins remain the same; they can also be beaten by the Kongs in the same manner, by being jumped on.
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
The second and only other game appearance of Lemguins is in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', where they only appear in two levels: [[Polar Pitfalls]] and [[Tundra Blunda]]. They behave no differently than in the previous game. In the [[Game Boy Color]] port, Lemguins have purple-colored sprites.

Lemguins are the land equivalent of [[Bazza]]s and [[Swoopy]]s, other enemies which possess similar attack patterns to Lemguins.
