Don’t let his arachnid appearance scare you! Squitter is an invaluable friend to Diddy and Dixie on their Kong Quest, able to use his webs to defeat enemies and create platforms. Unfortunately, he can’t jump as high as the Kongs. Dixie once again called upon Squitter to help out in the Northern Kremisphere, but that’s the last we saw of him.
