'''Nemos''' are nautilus-like enemies encountered in the [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They only appear in the level, [[Nautilus Chase]].
'''Nemos''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> also named '''Nautilus''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'', ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet, page 13.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue #35, page 52.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #31, page 65.</ref> are aquatic [[List of enemies|enemies]] who appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Their name is taken from {{wp|Captain Nemo}}, who pilots the submarine called the ''{{wp|Nautilus (fictional submarine)|Nautilus}}'' in the science fiction novel ''{{wp|Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea}}'', likely as a joke regarding the enemy itself being a nautilus. Nemos appear only in the level [[Nautilus Chase]], in which they are the main feature. Nemos are the game's successor to [[Croctopus]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.


Nemos act somewhat similarly to Croctopuses but are much more aggressive, chasing [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] regardless of where he [[swim]]s in relation to it, instead of following a set path. They also move in quick darting motions, unlike Croctopuses' smooth gliding through the water.
Unlike [[Croctopus|Croctopi]], who simply follow a set path, Nemos actually chase [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] throughout the level. When they are first encountered, they appear to be sleeping, but will soon emerge from their shells as the monkeys pass by. The Nemo will then follow behind them at a fast pace through the coral-filled level. If they are not fast enough, the enemy will attack the [[Kong]]s. These foes can be hard to avoid sometimes, as they can not be defeated and do move quite fast, even in tight spaces. At some point however, the Nemos will stop running after the heroes, and huddle back up in a corner somewhere around the coral.


When the active [[Kong]] first encounters a Nemo, it appears to be dormant. As Donkey Kong or Diddy swims past the Nemo, it suddenly emerges from its shell and quickly follows him, including in tight spaces. If the active Kong does not swim fast enough, he gets hit by a Nemo and therefore injured. Like the game's other aquatic enemies, Nemos cannot be defeated. At some point, the Nemo quits chasing either Kong and huddles back up in a corner within the coral.
