'''Squitter the Spider''' is a large, friendly spider covered in orange and black hair (which has a vague resemblance to [[lava]]) and an [[Animal Buddy]] ally to the [[Kong Family]]. Squitter possesses the ability to fire webbing from his mouth that either acts as a projectile that can hurt enemies or become temporary floating platforms that can be used to reach high areas or cross gaps. However, he cannot jump on enemies. His jumping ability is in fact, inferior to the Kongs, but his ability to cross gaps on his webs makes up for it.


Squitter first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as an inhabitant of [[Crocodile Isle]], first encountered in [[Crocodile Cauldron]] and later in many other locations, such as [[Krazy Kremland]]. Squitter even has an entire level dedicated to him in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', known as [[Web Woods]], which makes frequent use of his ability to spawn web platforms. Squitter makes a return appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.  Squitter lacks the ability to jump on enemies in those games, so he has to fire webs on them to take them out.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', Squitter appears in several of the levels in the [[Northern Kremisphere]] to aid [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] and appears most commonly in levels taking place in a factory setting. Like in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Squitter has a stage that is centered around him in this game, [[Krack Shot Kroc]]. After his appearance in this game, Squitter returns in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', which is, so far, his last playable appearance to date.  Squitter gains the ability to jump on enemies in those games, but he still cannot stomp on spiked enemies, such as the [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]].
