'''Squidlies''' are enemies which first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' that are shot out of Turrets, and their sub-species are [[Electrasquid]]s. They can be defeated by any of [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]]'s attacks and can mainly be defeated by being hit against a wall. They move in a straight line in the direction the Turret is pointing at. One can see a Squidly's eyes peeking out of the Turret just before it is fired. According to its concept artwork, a crab controls the Turret, maybe either [[Snaps]] or [[Pinchley]]. They can be considered the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' equivalent of [[Bullet Bill]]s, because they are shot out of cannons in a straight direction.

Donkey Kong attacks some Squidlys at Blowhole Bound.

Squidlys[1] (also pluralized as Squidlies[2]), also known as Squiddles[3] (pluralized as Squiddless[4] or Squiddles[5]), are enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS remake, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. They are squid-like torpedos that are indefinitely fired from Squid Shots. Squidlys have an electrical variant named Electrasquid.

When fired out from a Squid Shot, Squidlys slowly move in a straight line, either left or right (depending on where the Kongs are located). Squidlys get destroyed once they hit a wall, or they damage Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong upon contact. The Kongs can defeat a Squidly by jumping on them.

Squidlys seem to have design origins from the orthoceras, a genus of extinct cephalopods with external shells and no feeding tentacles, similar to Squidly.
