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.

There are also some Skellyrexes that ride on [[Cart|mine carts]], which are found at [[Prehistoric Path]]. These Skellyrexes can be taken out simply by jumping on them.

Skellyrexes look similar to [[Dry Bones]]; they do not come back to life after being defeated, however.
