Clapper is a seal that has the unique ability of lowering the temperature of the water around him. In some levels this is vital in order to pass through the level. For example, in a level with lava (exp. Lava Lagoon) you must jump on Clapper, and then he lowers the temperature of the lava by spitting ice cubes into it. After he does so, you are then able to swim in the water without being a fried monkey! In some levels, LockJaw is in the water, and you must jump on top of Clapper so he turns the water into solid ice with his ice cubes, and then you can cross where water usually is without LockJaw nipping you. Clapper is very important, however you cannot ride on him, and you never play a level as him.
Enguarde is a swordfish that uses his sword-like nose to help you in certain levels in Donkey Kong Country 2 that normally Diddy and Dixie could never make it through! Enguarde is found in all the DKC games. Enguarde can be ridden on top of, and you can play a few levels as Enguarde.
Little information is known of this character. I have played as him in a couple of bonus rounds, and that is about it. E-mail me with any information regarding this character!
Glimmer is an angler fish that uses his built-in flashlight to guide the Kongs through the darkest and deepest seas in this game. You can't ride on Glimmer, nor can you be Glimmer in a level. He is like Clapper in that aspect. He is just an important helper to have.
Rambi is a rhino that is able to use his horn to permanantly hurt any Kremling that gets in his way! Rambi also has the ability to jump on a Zinger. Rambi also has a special attack by holding onto A! It will make him charge in one direction extremely fast and nothing can get in his way (this is only in DKC 2, however). Rambi appears in DKC and DKC 2. Rambi can be ridden on top of, and you can also play as him in a level.
Rattly is a rattlesnake that helps you throughout certain levels in DKC 2. Rattly can use his tail to jump much higher than a Kong normally would and can reach places that even the Kongs can't team-up and throw to. Rattly also has a super jump which is done by holding A, (the button for special attacks from animals in DKC 2!) and then jumping at just the right time. Rattly can jump on a bee, like Rambi, except that Rattly gains altitude when he does so. Rattly can jump on top of any Kremling in the game.
Squawks is a parrot that guides you through levels that the Kongs could never make it through. In DKC 2 you can ride under Squawks (Squawks holds on to you with his talons) and you can play a level as Squawks, too. Squawks has the unique ability to spit an endless amont of eggs at any Kremling that gets too close! Squawks does not have a special attack.
Little information is known about this character also. Again, if you have any information regarding this character, E-Mail me and let me know!
Squitter is a spider that is very helpful in some levels that have huge canyons that no creature could ever reach across. Squitter has the unique ability to fire webs out from under himself and make them hang in mid-air. He can then sit on the temporary web until he is ready to go onto the next web he created. Squitter can't jump on a Kremling, but, you can press Y to fire a missile web at one that gets in your way.
