Green fish
Green Fish[1] are pufferfish-like enemies summoned by Fugu, the Frightening in his battle from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Green Fish always stay inflated, but unlike their master, they lack spikes. Because of their bodies, swelled to the brim and round like a globe, Green Fish sport their main components far away from each other: their beady eyes are located high on their bodies, while their small fins are located all the way towards their tiny tails. Their mouths are comically positioned as if they hold their breath without cease. A Green Fish's body is textured with light green stripes that bend on their bellies.
After inhaling enough air, Fugu sometimes exhales the green fish, along with Sea Urchins at times. During the exhale, the fish are propelled towards the Kongs, and become less frequent as the battle goes on, getting replaced by urchins. Green Fish grant damage to the primate heroes if not hit with a Corkscrew move or with Cranky Kong's cane at the right moment. Even if done so, Green Fish are not instantly defeated - they only launch back, eventually bouncing into the hermit crabs and perishing. However, they are necessary as projectiles against Fugu, since he gets damaged if hit by a Green Fish.
