Croctopi are octopus-like enemies found underwater in Donkey Kong Country. Their name is a portmanteau of crocodile and octopus. These creatures attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by spinning their sharp, poisonous tentacles at any passersby. Their tentacles are even fatal to the Kongs' ally, Enguarde the Swordfish.

Although Croctopi do not appear in Donkey Kong Land, the game does feature a single stage which features several Nautili, which, according to the game's instruction manual, are called "Nemo".
