Fugu, also known as Fugu the Frightening, is a supporting antagonist in the video game Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze who serves as the fourth boss. He is a giant blowfish who serves as the boss of Sea Breeze Cove, appearing in the level Fugu Face-off. Before the battle, Donkey Kong and the rest of Kongs meet Fugu while he is small. After the Kongs make fun of his size, Fugu bloats up and the battle commences. He is named after fugu (河豚), the Japanese word for pufferfish.
Appearance[]
Fugu is a large yellow blowfish with blue fins, eyebrows, and goatee. He wears a blue piece of cloth with the Snowmad insignia around his body, and around his fins are metal bracelets. Fugu has blue stripes along the front of his face. When bloated, Fugu has orange spikes protruding from his body.
History[]
Fugu attacks by attempting to inhale the Kongs, exhaling water to push them into the sides of the arena, rolling toward them after increasing his size, and exhaling urchins and green pufferfish.
To defeat Fugu, the Kongs will have to damage him nine times by several means, which include ramming into his backside while he is bloated, ramming a green pufferfish into him, or by hitting him while he is deflated.
Trivia[]
- He is quite similar to Puftoss from Donkey Kong 64, to the extent the latter could have influenced his creation and design: they are both giant blowfish who are fought in water-themed levels and serve as the fourth boss of their respective games.
- Alot of people tend to think if the kongs had not made fun of Fugu then he would not have tried to kill them. But He did still have a Snowmad Symbol around his "neck" so He would have most likely still attempted to kill them anyways. The teasing probably just made him more determined to try and kill them.
