They are not particularly fast enemies, but they usually appear swimming in a waving motion, sometimes going back and forth, blocking much of the [[Kong]]s' path. Fangfishes can also swim behind walls, causing them to be invisible to the player temporarily.

They usually appear swimming back and fourth, blocking much of the [[Kong]]s' path. Because of their large body mass, Fangfish are quite similar to [[Chomps]], as both are large fish. Though this is true, however, Fangfish are slightly bigger than Chomps. Additionally, both are somewhat slow enemies that attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] without remorse. |
