Flurl

Flurl the Squirrel (previously known as Ressar in Europe) is a red, lazy squirrel and an ally 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

 * Unlike Conker, another squirrel ally of the Kongs, Flurl is fairly un-anthropomorphic. Whether this means there are two types of squirrel in the Donkey Kong universe, humanoid ones (like Conker) and un-humanoid ones (like Flurl) is unknown.
 * Flurl's name is a combination of the words float and squirrel.
