'''Enguarde''' is a swordfish with a recurring presence as an animal buddy in the ''[[Portal: Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series. He acts as the Kongs' only aquatic protector, and he is almost like an underwater version of [[Rambi]] in that Enguarde's sharp bill can cut through most obstacles (except for those involving spikes).

Enguarde first appeared to aid [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] in the aquatic levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Enguarde also served a similar purpose of helping the Kongs during the battles on [[Crocodile Island]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' (and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''). Enguarde's next appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble]]'' was notable in that Enguarde had his own battle with a boss character in the form of [[Barbos]]. Enguarde battled Barbos a second time in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

Enguarde later returned in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', but with a diminished role like Rambi's. Enguarde was only found in the Gloomy Galleon. Enguarde demonstrated a new ability, as he could pick up speed and leap out of the water. This skill was important in that Enguarde could use this to leap through several hoops that unlocked new areas of the Gloomy Galleon.
