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.

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.
