Nibblas are red-orange, carnivorous fish enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! that behave like Snapjaws from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Nibblas are entirely invulnerable to attack, and they swim through the water quickly, following Dixie and Kiddy around a level. If the Kongs fall into the water, the Nibbla charges into them and bites. One difference that Nibblas have from Snapjaws is that they cannot swim through walls. They do not return in Donkey Kong Land III, unlike most enemies.

Nibblas appear in three levels: Bobbing Barrel Brawl, Kreeping Klasps, and Fish Food Frenzy. Fish Food Frenzy features a unique Nibbla that eats underwater enemies along the way while following the Kongs throughout. The Nibbla changes color depending on its mood. When it is blue, the Nibbla is happy; to keep this mood, Nibbla has to eat Kocos along the way. If Nibbla turns purple, it starts to frown; if it is light pink, its fangs begin to show; and if the Nibbla is bright red, it swiftly bites the lead Kong then changes back into light pink. If Nibbla eats a Lurchin, its mood worsens, although there is a Lurchin near the end of the level that guards the path to a Bonus Barrel. A No Animal Sign of Nibbla appears at the end of Fish Food Frenzy, but it is different from those of the actual Animal Friends because the Nibbla does not cross and stays behind. Aside from levels, a Nibbla's only other appearance is as a photograph in Dixie Kong's Photo Album, categorized as part of the Aquatic Attackers enemy class. In the remake, they also appear in the Pacifica level Stormy Seas and the Kaos Kore level Lightning Lookout.
