'''Archies''' are enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They are [[penguin]] soldiers of the [[Snowmads|Snowmad]] army, each equipped with a bow and carrying a quiver full of fish on their back. Much like their [[Tucks]] relatives, they are stout and display navy-blue colorition. They also bear puffy wristbands fastened with leather shreds on their flippers, as well as hair knots on top of their heads.

Archies walk back and forth, keeping their look focused on the [[Kong]]s. After a short while, they start shooting three consecutive fish from their quiver, using their bows as if they were shooting arrows. When in mid-air, the fish travel in a straight line and at a constant speed, destroying themselves once they crash into a wall or reach a certain distance. The Kongs lose a heart from their health bar if hit by these fish projectiles. However, they can be stomped on and, occasionally, used to traverse pits or spiked floor. Archies themselves can be defeated by any attack method (e.g. [[stomp]]ing, [[Roll Attack|roll attacks]], tossed [[barrel]]s).

Archy fish projectiles redeem the role of [[Squidly|Squidlies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' as slender, arrowy, and horizontally positioned enemies that are shot by a malicious creature.

[[Archy (fire)|A red variety]] of Archies also exists, which use fishbones engulfed in flames instead of carnal fish.
