'''Barnacle''' is the eldest member of the [[Brothers Bear]], a former scuba diver, and a shell collector. He only appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' He lives in a cabin on [[Barnacle's Island]] in the middle of [[Lake Orangatanga]]. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can swim to the island after completing [[Doorstop Dash]]. When the [[Kong]]s visit, Barnacle mentions that he was formerly a scuba diver before eventually deciding to take it easy at his home. He is proud of his shell collection, which is seen inside his Cabin, behind the Kongs. There is a [[shell (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|shell]] that Barnacle is missing from his collection, so he requests Dixie and Kiddy to locate one for him. They can purchase the shell at [[Bazaar's General Store]] for five [[bear coin]]s. Barnacle has a [[Banana Bird]] in a yellow cage, which he does not want to give away, but eventually trades it to the Kongs in exchange for the shell. In later visits, Barnacle mentions that he misses the Banana Bird and that his shell collection cheers him up.
'''Barnacle''' is the eldest member of the [[Brothers Bear]]s, a former scuba diver, and a shell collector. He first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and reappears in the Japan-exclusive ''[[Donkey Konga (series)|Donkey Konga]]'' title, ''[[Donkey Konga 3: Tabehōdai! Haru Mogitate 50 Kyoku|Donkey Konga 3]]''. He is the only Brothers Bear who appears in more than one game.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Barnacle and his location were relocated to [[Pacifica]], while the island on Lake Orangatanga was transferred to [[Bachelor]].
Barnacle shares a name with barnacles, a type of underwater arthropod species. This could relate to his former career as a scuba diver, because barnacles are most often found underwater.

== Appearance ==
*"He just flew in once, so I decided to keep him."
Barnacle wears a white turtleneck with a blue beret. His artwork reveals that he also wears black pants and blue sneakers. While he retailed this design for ''Donkey Konga 3'', Barnacle's outfit was overhauled in the Game Boy Advance remake, where his outfit shows him as a retired Revolutionary-age naval captain, complete with a [[wikipedia:Bicorne|Bicorne]] hat and [[wikipedia:Epaulette|Epaulette]] uniform.
*"You know, I don't think there's anything which would persuade me to get rid of this bird."
