Flurl

Flurl the Squirrel (known as Ressar in Europe) is a red, lazy squirrel and an ally of Donkey Kong.

The first appearance of Flurl was in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Here Flurl can occasionally be found sleeping in a tree. If Donkey Kong can grab Flurl's tail, he will use Flurl like a parachute and glide through the air, which can allow Donkey Kong to collect airborne beats and reach new areas that are normally unreachable without him/her.

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.
