Kuchukas are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. They are encountered in [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3)|Pot Hole Panic]] only.

'''Kuchukas''' are members of the [[Kremling Krew]] encountered in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Kuchukas resemble [[Knocka]]s and [[Klasp]]s, but have purple arms. They also reside inside of purple barrels filled with bombs, as opposed to green or red ones. Also, unlike Knockas who charge into the Kongs, Kuchukas remain stationary in their barrel and constantly hurl bombs outward. Kuchukas cannot be defeated in any way and can only be avoided, making them the only type of barrel that cannot be picked up. According to the game's credits, Kuchukas belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Kuchukas are found in more than one level, but they only appear late in the game. A single Kuchuka is found at the very end of  [[Stalagmite Frights]]. They appear again in the following levels of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]:  [[Whiplash Dash]] (only in a bonus stage, though), [[Kuchuka Karnage]], [[Haunted Hollows]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]]. In the monochrome version, since it looks identical to Knockas, it can be confused for one initially.

They cannot be picked up and can only be defeated by a TNT Barrel. A Kuchuka also appears in a Bonus Level of Pot Hole Panic, where it tries to prevent the Kongs and Squitter from collecting the green bananas. A photograph of a Kuchuka appears in Dixie Kong's Photo Album, being classified as part of the Kremling Kreeps.

Unused graphics suggest that, at one point, Kuchukas could be picked up and thrown.[1]
