'''Ellie''' is an [[Animal Friend]] in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] whose main appearance is in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. She is the first Animal Friend to be a female. She is treated as something of a substitute for [[Rambi]] in that they are both heavy mammals used as the first stage's Animal Buddy, but unlike Rambi's simple charging- and contact-based movements and attacks, Ellie involves more strategy due to her strengths being less obvious and more situational. | |||
'''Ellie | |||
Ellie has two unique characteristics, both involving her trunk. She has the ability to collect water into her trunk, including from a waterfall, and then fire it at enemies. She has a fear of mice, specifically [[Sneek]]s, which is a reference to the popular, albeit scientifically contested belief of elephants being negatively conscious towards mice in the real world. She can also take out stronger enemies like [[Krumple|Krumples]] due to her weight. In addition, she can carry barrels with her trunk, and suck them towards her if they are out of reach by facing a barrel and holding {{button|snes|Y}}. | |||

Ellie debuted in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', where her first level appearance is in the first one of the game, [[Lakeside Limbo]]. She is trapped in an [[Animal Crate|Ellie Crate]] near the end of the level, and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can optionally ride her through the level. Her next appearance is in [[Murky Mill]], where the [[Kong]]s are transformed into her from an [[Animal Barrel|Ellie Barrel]] in most of the stage. Ellie's fear of mice is prominent in this level, as she gets afraid of Sneeks beneath the patches of light. She can only pass them by throwing a barrel at them. | Ellie debuted in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', where her first level appearance is in the first one of the game, [[Lakeside Limbo]].

Ellie's third level appearance is in [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], where like Murky Mill, the Kongs must play as her for most of the level. Bobbing Barrel Brawl is the first level where Ellie can suck up water and fire it. She can only carry up to seven drops of water, and the current amount is indicated from a meter | Ellie's third level appearance is in [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], where like Murky Mill, the Kongs must play as her for most of the level. Bobbing Barrel Brawl is the first level where Ellie can suck up water by pressing {{button|snes|L}} and fire it by pressing {{button|snes|R}}. Alternatively, the player can press down and hold {{button|snes|A}} to suck up water, and press {{button|snes|A}} to shoot it out. Ellie can also shoot water diagonally upwards by holding up while shooting. She can only carry up to seven drops of water, and the current amount is indicated from a meter at the bottom-right of the screen. Ellie cannot suck in water from a waterfall while she is blasting out from a [[Barrel Cannon]]. In parts of the stage, she must suck up [[TNT Barrel]]s to attack the red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es blocking her path. Ellie is also playable for a portion of the [[Cotton Top Cove]] level, [[Tracker Barrel Trek]], and would later fight the world boss [[Squirt (boss)|Squirt]] at [[Squirt's Showdown]]. | ||
The Kongs can ride on Ellie for a brief portion of [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]]. This is the only other stage aside from Lakeside Limbo where the Kongs can ride on her. Ellie's seventh and final level appearance is in [[Stampede Sprint]], where she also plays a main role: after encountering three Sneeks, Ellie gets a large scare and runs uncontrollably through the level. | The Kongs can ride on Ellie for a brief portion of [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]].
