In spite of this, they resemble neither [[Blue Finley|blue]] nor [[Red Finley|red Finleys]] in appearance, and appear in completely different stances in the game.

'''Green Finleys'''<ref name=Prima>{{cite|language=en-us|author=von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier|location=Roseville|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=13|date=February 21, 2014|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=978-0-804-16252-4}}</ref> are a relative of [[Finley]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. In spite of this, they resemble neither [[Blue Finley|Blue]] nor [[Red Finley]]s. Green Finleys are somewhat similar to both {{wp|wrasse}}s and {{wp|anglerfish}}, owing to their wide mouths, minuscule eyes and plump rectangular bodies. They are the rarest species in the Finley group, and behave differently each time they are found.  


Green Finleys first appear in the first boss level, [[Big Top Bop]], where [[Pompy]] throws them from the water onto the arena. Once there, Green Finleys leap agitatedly, chasing the [[Kong]]s to try and damage them. The Kongs can either [[stomp]] or roll into a Green Finley to defeat it. Alternatively, they can dodge the Green Finleys until they retreat into the water.
Green Finleys receive a resemblance from both [[wikipedia:Wrasse|wrasses]] and [[wikipedia:Anglerfish|anglerfish]], due to their wide mouths edged by thick lips, and plump rectangular structures that seem to narrow towards their very small tail fins. Two minuscule and confused eyes surround a short dorsal fin, which at length tops their heads. Behind their lips, one can see two curved gills, each for every end of the lip, that stand as lines for their large jaws. Their pectoral fins are rather low in position, as they are located at the bottom of the gills.


Green Finleys later appear in [[Twilight Terror]], where they jump out of the water when the Kongs pass by on their [[Rocket Barrel]]. They carry various items enclosed inside [[bubble]]s, which the Kongs can collect. If crashed into, both the Green Finley and the Rocket Barrel are damaged.
Green Finleys are as uncommon as varied in role they are. Indeed, they form the most uncommon members of the Finley group, and are found in only a few levels throughout the game. On the other hand, they serve (slightly) different functions with each stance. They first show up in the battle with [[Pompy]], where the migthy sea lion tosses them from the water onto the arena. Here, Green Finleys leap continuously on the ground as they follow the [[Kong]]s; in their way, the fish foes might hit the primates, which lose a heart from the health counter if so happened. However, the fish enemies can be taken out either if the player dodges them long enough so they fall willingly back into the water, or if they get [[stomp]]ed one time.


A single Green Finley makes an appearance in [[Cannon Canyon]], where it repeatedly jumps out of the water with an [[KONG Letters|N letter]] on its lips, much like the Green Finleys in Twilight Terror. This appearance is distinct because the Kongs cannot interact with the Green Finley in any way, since the [[Barrel Cannon]]'s launch trajectory does not interfere with the Green Finley.
Other Green Finleys appear in [[Twilight Terror]], a level from [[Bright Savannah]]. Here, they jump out of the water right when the Kongs pass by on their [[Rocket Barrel]], carrying various items enclosed inside [[bubble]]s. The Kongs can either collect the items, or crash into the enemy, which results in damage on both sides.

==Trivia==
A single Green Finley makes an appearance in [[Cannon Canyon]], where it repeatedly jumps out of the water with an [[K-O-N-G Letters|N letter]] on its lips, much like in Twilight Terror. This stance is distinct because the Kongs cannot interact with the fish in any way, since they are carried by a [[Barrel Cannon]] whose launch trajectory does not interfere with the Finley. Instead, they could wait inside the cannon and launch themselves with precision, so they could collect the N letter that jumps up and down in the river stream, depending on the Finley's movements.
*The [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide erroneously states that they are only encountered during the fight with Pompy.<ref name=Prima/>
