An '''Animal Barrel''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> also known as a '''Goodie Barrel''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide. Page 15.</ref> is a [[barrel]] with a picture of an [[Animal Friend]] painted on the side. Unlike [[Animal Crate]]s, which contain an Animal Friend, Animal Barrels transform the [[Kong]]s into its depicted Animal Friend. These barrels first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and return in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. They also appear in their handheld counterparts, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III|III]]''.

If two Kongs enter an Animal Barrel, the resulting Animal Friend has two [[Hit Point]]s, with an icon of that Animal Friend the bottom-left of the screen, or bottom-right in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' titles. This icon indicates the second Hit Point. The Animal Friend loses a Hit Point if injured, and its icon disappears. The Animal Friend loses a life if it loses its second and last Hit Point. It can touch a [[DK Barrel]] for another Hit Point, which represents the missing Kong. The Animal Friend transforms back into the Kongs if it crosses the [[No Animal Sign]].

[[Clapper the Seal|Clapper]] and [[Parry the Parallel Bird|Parry]] are the only two Animal Friends in the featured games who do not have their own Animal Barrel. In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Quawks' and Squawks' Animal Barrels look identical because of the [[Game Boy]]'s monochrome palette.

While Animal Barrels do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', the Animal Crates behave like them as they transform a Kong into an Animal Friend. This behavior was also recycled for the [[Game Boy Color]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.
