Archy (fire)

Archies are enemies from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and soldiers of the Snowmad army. They appear to be close relatives to their namesake, borrowing an almost identical appearance, only being colored red instead of navy blue. Furthermore, they use the same attack technique.

Carrying a bow and a quiver of dead fish, fire Archies usually tread back and forth slowly (some being completely stationary), having a focused look on their target. After a short time, they raise their bow and launch three dead fish in a row. However, unlike the fish shot by regular Archies, these catch fire as soon as they are shot and are dangerous to stomp on. They follow straight paths in the air and will break when they hit a wall.

Fire Archies themselves are harmful to touch directly, but are vulnerable to any of the Kongs' attacks, such as stomping, rolling or barrel tossing. In Scorch 'n' Torch, a stationary fire Archy is eventually crushed by a Flaming Falling Totem Pole. They are less common than regular Archies.
