Animal Buddy
First seen in Donkey Kong Country, Animal Buddies were presented as creatures native to who had befriended the Kongs and would assist them in various capacities in their struggle against the. Their ranks would expand in later games to include animals from surrounding areas. '''An important aspect of an animal buddy is that it differs from the anthropomorphic, talking species originating from. They're traditional animals without a high-level of intelligence or the ability to speak language''' (minus exceptions like, who can mimic English).
 * Overview

Although there was no "torch bearer" animal buddy this time around, there was an enemy that fulfilled the same role. (see "Helpful Enemies" section below)
 * Northern Kremisphere Natives


 * Items
 * - These are crates that contain animal buddies. Much like s will contain Kongs due to the Kremling curse, these are the containers for many of the buddies. A silhouette representing an individual animal buddy is painted on the exterior to indicate who is inside. When cracked open, the animal buddy will be exposed, allowing you to utilize their services (either by riding them, or, in the case of pre-Squawks and, flying overhead). If your animal is touched by an enemy or obstacle, it will send them running away in a panic. It's sometimes possible to catch up with them and ride them again. Using an animal buddy from a crate, in essence, gives you an extra "hit."
 * - These are hollow barrels that have an animals image depicted on it. When jumping into one of these, the Kong transforms into that animal buddy. While it's believed by some that it's the Kong in the shape of their animal friend, the animal buddy is most likely in control, "beamed into" the reconfigured body of the Kong. Utilizing the animal barrel, the animal can have two hits, the second hit replacing where the second Kong would be. Therefore, as long as a transformed animal buddy opens a DK Barrel, it gains a hit. The animal barrels were created for levels where you would need to use an Animal Buddy for the entire level. Without these, your animal buddy would run away every time you got hurt, rendering the stage impossible to complete.
 * - These magical signs were erected by the Kremlings. They each have a silhouette of an animal buddy in a red circle with a slash through it. If you are with an animal buddy or are transformed into one and try to pass it, your animal would disappear. On the plus side, you were usually granted a helpful item.

There are several enemies throughout the games that could actually be used to the Kongs' benefit. While not traditional Animal Buddies, in that their services aren't voluntary and all are members of the Kremling Krew, many did play valuable roles. These enemies usually would not intentionally try to hurt you, but many of them could.

 * - The Nibbla in the Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! stage "" followed you around just like any other non-ridable animal buddy, eating any enemy he came close to. You had to keep him constantly fed (but not Lurchins, as their spines disagreed with him and made him angry) or else he would get hungry and attack you. He also had a near the end of the level, although you didn't get any reward.

Bachelor
He resides in his Pad in, oddly enough, Lake Orangutanga. He is single, and hopes to meet someone real soon.

Berri
Though little of Berri's personality is shown in Conker's Pocket Tales, she was presumably kind and cheery much like Conker was in this game. In Conker's Bad Fur Day/Conker: Live & Reloaded, Berri was portrayed as somewhat naive and ditzy, if not a full-blown idiot since she couldn't notice Conker due to him wearing a hat (that didn't even conceal his face), she has a valley girl accent and a stereotypical "sexy girl" attitude.
 * Personality

Despite her beauty and sexiness, she is also referred to as a "slut" by several characters in Conker's Bad Fur Day/Conker: Live & Reloaded; her picture graces the cover and several pages of "Fur Only" magazine, several messages saying "For a good-time, call Berri" can also be found throughout the game as well, implying she might be a lingerie model, a stripper or even a prostitute.

Bettete
Due to this alien wearing pink, it's been proven that Bettete is a girl of her family.

Dolphin
The Dolphins are a minor character in the Banjo-Kazooie series who are obviously dolphins.

Dr. Dolittle-Goode

Drumstick the Rooster
Drumstick the Rooster is a rooster that lives on in Diddy Kong Racing and is well-known among the locales for his racing skills. Constantly training on the island's many tourist-trap racetracks, Drumstick has honed his ability to become one of the greatest racers on the island. While his mastery of speed isn't in question, it was because of the confidence that stemmed from this that he was punished at the hands of an intergalactic pig.

When Wizpig took over the island,, , and planned an immediate counter-offensive. They went to Drumstick and asked him to face down Wizpig in a race, with the stipulation that if Drumstick won, Wizpig would leave the island. Drumstick agreed, and all doubted that Wizpig would come out on top as the victor. However, some time passed and Drumstick has not returned. It was after this failure that Timber sent out a plea of help to his old friend which led to a slew of racers both native and from elsewhere to help race Timber's Island to freedom.

In the midst of the racing adventure led by Diddy and Timber that would liberate the island, the slow defeat of Wizpig's magic also led to a reveal of sorts in the main meadow of the island. In the pool of water where the island's waterfalls came crashing down over the mountainside lived many frogs. After completing world four and collecting thirty-nine s, the heroes came upon of a frog was unusually sporting red plumage sprouting from its head. On a hunch, one of the racers ran over it with their vehicle, and in a brilliant flash of gold, Drumstick appeared. Wizpig had turned him into a frog, and it wasn't until his frog form was destroyed that he was able to be free. He immediately joined with the others in the fight, staying with them until the end.

Drumstick is believed to still be living on Timber's Island, spending his days (and nights) perfecting his skills on the track.

Drumstick can be unlocked in a different way in , the heroes must come upon a frog, throw him onto a ledge. Then, the frog comes down, revealing a red comb. The player must drive over this frog to unlock Drumstick, who was apparently the frog transformed by Wizpig.

Enguarde the Swordfish
It is unknown if the purple was to be a subspecies such as Quawks being one of Squawks or a different coloration.

Trivia:
 * The Giant Spider may have been inspired from, a boss in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.

 * It is very similar to Queen Gohma, a boss in The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time.

Gruntilda Winkybunion
Politically speaking, Gruntilda is not as powerful as villains from other series such as Bowser or Dr. Robotnik. [...] Many monsters are seen in and coming out of the Hag 1, but it may be that these are un-intelligent creatures created by magic, as none are actually seen in the building area of Cauldron Keep.

Lord of Games

 * Trivia
 * Originally, he was not only going to be the main villain of the game, but he was also going to be called God of Games. However, he was changed until he became the eccentric neutral character that he is today. It isn't known why his old role and name were changed, but it can be implied that his old role and name would've upset many religious gamers, as the idea of an evil "God" would greatly offend them and do more harm than good.
 * L.O.G. states that he appears in all video games in some form and says "Pet my piglet!". This was something the groundskeeper from Grabbed by the Ghoulies said, meaning that they may be the same character.

Squitter the Spider
Squitter the Spider is an in DKC2 and 3. He gives Diddy, Dixie and Kiddy a ride through the levels, and defeats enemies with his web projectiles. He can also make web platforms. '''He also wears shoes like Expresso. His face is visually similar to Animal from The Muppet Show.'''

Tedi

 * Trivia
 * It was implied that the snarling cannibalistic voices of the Tediz aren't their true voices, as, in the electric chair room, two Dr. Tediz were speaking to each other in relatively human voices (breaking the fourth wall by talking about a video game that's possibly Conker's Bad Fur Day).

The Breegulls
The Breegulls are a species of birds that appear in all of the Banjo games, but have a much bigger role in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.

(Kazooie is the only breegull in every game except Grunty's Revenge... - Results May Vary)
