Template:Articleabout Template:Species-infobox Lurchin are spiky green sea urchin-like creatures encountered in many underwater levels in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.

Lurchins do not attack Dixie or Kiddy Kong directly. Instead, they will remain stationary or travel up and down in a set path, slowly opening and closing their shell. If the Kongs get too close to a Lurchin, they may end up being hit by the Lurchin's spiny shell. Lurchins can only be defeated with help from Enguarde or Nibbla, though it is not advisable to allow Nibbla to eat a Lurchin. However, Enguarde can only defeat Lurchins when their shells are open, or else he'll get hurt instead.

One of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'s bosses is a giant Lurchin named Barbos.
