'''Bristles''' are orange hedgehog enemies encountered mainly in waterfall levels and jungle levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] when touched. To defeat a Bristles, Dixie or Kiddy must roll into it from the front, otherwise the [[Kong]]s will be hurt from the Bristles' spiky quills, much like with [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are immune to a [[team up]] throw, which even damages the Kong thrown. Alternatively, a Bristles can be defeated either from a [[barrel]] or a [[Steel Keg]] being thrown at it, or from [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] spitting a coconut at it. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Bristles is categorized as part of the [[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]].


A '''Bristles''' is an enemy in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. These small hedgehogs replace [[Spiny (Donkey Kong)|Spinies]] from [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]. They are mostly found in waterfall levels (such as [[Tracker Barrel Trek]]) and jungle levels (such as [[Konveyor Rope Klash]]). Since they are porcupines, their quills are deadly, and  obviously they cannot be jumped on. To defeat one, [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] must make an attack on the front while one of the baddies is walking about, as the rear and top are very prickly.  
A unique type of Bristles appears in [[Konveyor Rope Klash]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', and they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy. While curled up, a Bristles can be defeated only from a barrel. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], this type is also in the [[Cranky's Dojo]] minigame, where [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] has to deflect thirty of them successfully as they bounce his way.

==Profiles and statistics==
Some Bristles can also roll up and hurtle toward a [[Kong]], which makes them totally invincible and even more dangerous. Fortunately, they only used that attack method in [[Konveyor Rope Klash]].
