+'''Armies'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide. [[Media:DKC Guide 16-17.jpg|Page 16]].</ref> are small armadillo enemies which first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.
+==History==
+===''Donkey Kong Country''===
+[[File:W-Army.png|thumb|An Army holding a "W" in ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s Game Boy Color remake]]
+In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Armies attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat an Army by jumping on it once, regardless if the enemy is inside its shell or not. [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on an Army twice to defeat it, as when he jumps on a curled up Army, Diddy forces it to its normal position. While an Army is not curled up, Diddy can jump on it another time to defeat it.
-'''Armies'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, [[Media:DKC Guide 16-17.jpg|Page 16]].</ref> are little armadillo enemies that are found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. When an Army is rolled up, [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on it twice to defeat it, while Donkey Kong can get rid of it with a single jump. [[Army Dillo]] from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' is a giant Army, although the enemy species did not appear in the game.
+Armies appear in five [[level]]s: [[Ropey Rampage]], [[Slipslide Ride]], [[Rope Bridge Rumble]], [[Misty Mine]], and [[Platform Perils]]. Armies are also the fifth and final pair of enemies released by [[Dumb Drum]] during his boss fight in [[Boss Dumb Drum]].
-An Army, purple in color, appears in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|''Donkey Kong Country'']]". It is the first enemy in this comic to attack [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong. Diddy defeats it by simply [[jump]]ing on it. Like every enemy in the comic, the Army is able to speak.
+In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Donkey Kong can [[Hand Slap]] an Army to obtain a [[photograph]] for the first page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]].
-An individual Army appears as an antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. While the [[Kongs]] are exploring the abandoned mines, Army and [[Slippa]] ambush the group. [[Donkey Kong]] throws a [[barrel]] at Army and the force of the impact knocks him down the tunnel.
+===''Donkey Kong Land''===
+Armies return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', behaving identically as before and appearing in slightly more levels, as follows: [[Tyre Trail]], [[Riggin' Rumble]], [[Tricky Temple]], [[Swirlwind Storm]], [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)|Pot Hole Panic]], [[Balloon Barrage]], [[Kong Krazy]], and lastly [[Button Barrel Blast]].
-Armies also make several small cameo appearances as enemies in the Game Boy Color game ''[[wikipedia:Conker's Pocket Tales|Conker's Pocket Tales]]''.
+===''Club Nintendo''===
+An Army, purple in color, appears in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]." It is the first enemy that attacks [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong. Diddy defeats it by simply [[jump]]ing on it. Like every enemy in the comic, the Army is able to speak.
-An unused (and unnamed) armadillo model can be found within the game files for ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', meaning Army, or an enemy inspired by Army, was [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|originally planned]] to be in the game. Instead, a singular Army boss appears in the game called [[Army Dillo]]. An Army can be seen near the end of the trailer for the canceled game, ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. It is possible that an Army could have been one of the game's rideable creatures as other enemy species{{ref needed}}, such as [[Zinger]]s were seen to be rideable.

+[[File:DK64 Army.png|thumb|The unused Army model in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
+*In the original ''Donkey Kong Country'', Army's defeat sound is a higher-pitched version of that of Donkey Kong's.
+*An [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|unused armadillo model]] exists within the ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' kiosk demo, suggesting that Army or a different enemy would have appeared in the game.
+*An Army appears near the end of the trailer in ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''.
