Red Finley
Red Finleys[1] are members of the Finley group, which includes generic fish enemies from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Unlike their Blue Finley relatives, Red Finleys are less common in the game, first appearing in Sea Breeze Cove. Likewise, they move considerably faster, keeping in mind that they have a warm colorition that is meant to denote speed.
A Red Finley's model does not differentiate too much from a Blue Finley's. It features the same structure, from the thick lips that cover tiny sharp fangs, to the menacing look in the eyes located right before the tight gills, to the broad and pointy caudal tail. However, as their name implies, Red Finleys are mostly colored red, with the exception of their bellies and fins which have shades of orange and yellow.
As stated above, Red Finleys swim with more speed than Blue Finleys, but defend themselves the same nevertheless. The Kongs get damaged if they touch any of these enemies, resulting in the loss of one heart from the health counter. Contrariwise, the player can perform a Corkscrew move on a Red Finley to defeat it. Cranky's cane swing is also efficient in casting out the foe.
Red Finleys never show up outside the water, despite the Blue Finley's ability to do so in Rocket Rails. Red Finleys, together with Blue Finleys, seem to replace pair-forming underwater enemies from other Donkey Kong Country games, such as Flotsams and Kocos.
