!!Squawks
The most commonly recurring Animal Buddy, Squawks is a green parrot that lives with Cranky Kong. Unlike the other Animal Buddies, Squawks has had a different use in many of the games he's appeared in. In ''DKC'' he carried a lantern to light up a dark cavern, in ''[=DKC2=]'' and ''[=DKC3=]'' he actually carried the Kongs and spat eggs at enemies, in ''[=DK64=]'' he provided tips, and in ''DKCR'' he helps the Kongs locate hidden items.

Tropes associates with all Animal Buddies:
* AssistCharacter / TheYoshi: Most of the Animal Buddies are mounts that the Kongs ride on, with a handful of exceptions (most notably Squawks in the first DKC game) who simply help him navigate their levels.
!!Rambi
A rhinoceros with attitude and a need for speed. The most commonly recurring animal buddy, Rambi has appeared in almost all of the DKC games. He grants his rider increased speed, near-invincibility to enemies (as long as they don't come from above or behind), and the ability to traverse some dangerous terrain.
