(SMB2 and DKCTF both had Tanabe in management roles and he even stated that at least one gameplay mechanic from the former (plucking things/grabbing enemies and throwing them) was carried over to the latter, so a comparison to Mouser isn't far-fetched. i also fail to see how karbine is comparable beyond the fact that they shoot stuff; at that point, anything that shoots something is)

'''Harolds''' are enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They resemble overweight hare-like members of the [[Snowmad]] army that make use of an unlimited supply of [[Watermelon Fuse Bomb]]s.
'''Harolds''' are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They are large, hare-like [[Snowmads]] related to [[Fluff (enemy)|Fluff]]s. Enemies of a similar build, [[Harey]]s, also appear in the game.


==Appearance==
Harolds attack the [[Kong]]s by throwing an unlimited supply of [[Watermelon Fuse Bomb]]s at them from one spot, occasionally making short hops which allow them to throw the bombs further. They can damage the Kongs directly if simply touched from the sides. The Kongs can defeat a Harold by picking up one of its bombs and throwing it back at the enemy; alternatively, they can [[Roll Attack|roll]] into or jump on it a total of three times.
Each Harold has a rotund body and displays a viking-styled braided beard, with each knit featuring a painting of a sharp triangle that points towards the beard's end. The beard is grown around a small face, consisting of a round bunny snout over a tiny incisor tooth, a small red nose, and minuscule eyes under two bushy brows. A Harold's figure seems upset or maddened, as it characterises its temper. A Harold also features two distant ears, fastened with blue hair ties as if they were hair ponytails. On top of its head, also tightened with a tie, lays a splayed bun.

==Behavior and combat==
==Names in other languages==
Harolds are completely stationary, unlike most of the other Snowmad warriors. However, they might jump from time to time in an attempt to gain impulse. They proceed in tossing [[Watermelon Fuse Bomb]]s at the player-controlled [[Kong]]s. Upon landing, these explosives remain on the ground until their fuses burn completely, after which they blow up; if the Kongs are not on time, they might get caught in the explosion and get damaged, resulting in the loss of one heart from the health meter. Nevertheless, the player can pick up the bombs and hurl them back at the Harold, as they go off instantly after hitting the enemy, which gets defeated thereafter and screams in agony while falling off-screen. This is not the only method of destroying a Harold, though; it can be [[Roll Attack|rolled into]] three times or [[stomp]]ed onto the same amount of times in order to obtain the same result.
