Flurl

Flurl (known as Ressar in Japan and the European GameCube version) is a red, lazy squirrel and a Jungle Buddy of Donkey Kong.

The first and thus far only appearance of Flurl is in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Here, Flurl can occasionally be found sleeping in a tree. If Donkey Kong grabs Flurl's tail, he will use Flurl like a parachute and glide through the air, which allows Donkey Kong to collect airborne beats and reach new areas that are normally unreachable without the rodent's aid.

Flurl's first appearance is in the level Jungle Deeps.

Trivia

 * Flurl's name is a combination of the words float and squirrel.
