'''Flurl the Squirrel''' (previously known as '''Ressar''' in Europe) is a red, lazy squirrel and an ally of [[Donkey Kong]].
'''Flurl''' (known as '''Ressar''' in the European [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] version) is a [[Jungle Buddy]] of [[Donkey Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', who first appears in [[Jungle Deeps]]. Flurl is a large red squirrel with a giant tail, and its name is a combination of "float" and "squirrel". While usually only one can be seen at a time, two appear on-screen at one point in [[Ninjape Rally]].


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 occasionally appears sleeping in a tree. If Donkey Kong grabs Flurl's tail, he can use Flurl as parachute and glide through the air. This allows Donkey Kong to collect some [[Banana#Donkey Kong Jungle Beat|Beat]]s while airborne and access normally unreachable areas.

==Trivia==
*Unlike [[Conker]], another squirrel ally of the [[Kong]]s 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".
