The '''Skellyrex''' is an undead dinosaur-like enemy that first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. These enemies are mostly found at the [[Cliff]] area of [[Donkey Kong Island]], but they also appear in the level, [[Tumblin' Temple]]. Skellyrexes mostly move around from left to right, usually posing a minimal threat to [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. They can be attacked with any kind of attack method, but when attacked directly, they'll lose their bodies. The [[Kong]]s need to be careful not to collide with the Skellyrex head when it detaches from its body. Attacking the Skellyrex head again will defeat it for good.
