In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', [[Lord Fredrik]] uses a magic, icy '''horn'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Pages 252 and 253.</ref> in various instances. It is made out of wood and is bound by two metal rings encrusted with glowing blue gemstones. | ||

He blows into the horn to summon an [[ice dragon]], which blasts away the [[Kong]]s, its main locals, to a [[Lost Mangroves|foreign island]] and turns the island into an arctic wasteland. | ||

In its normal state, the horn is small enough that Lord Fredrik wears it on a string around his neck, but Lord Fredrik can blow into it to increase its size considerably, shifting his own size to comparable proportions as well. The horn is used in most of his attacks, such as shooting small ice globes that contain enemies onto the arena and sending out ice dragons similar to the one in the opening cutscene. | ||

After Fredrik and the Snowmads are defeated, [[Donkey Kong]] claims the horn, which shrinks down to fit his size, and he uses it to produce a breeze of flowers that restore Donkey Kong Island to its former climate. Moments later, he uses the horn again as a saxophone when the Kongs form themselves in a band to celebrate their victory. | After Lord Fredrik and the Snowmads are defeated, [[Donkey Kong]] claims the horn, which shrinks down to fit his size, and he uses it to produce a breeze of flowers that restore Donkey Kong Island to its former climate.

The horn displays similarities to [[King K. Rool|Kaptain K. Rool]]'s [[blunderbuss]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', as both harness abnormal qualities and are wielded by main villains. The horn also alludes to {{wp|Mjölnir}}, the legendary hammer wielded by the {{wp|Norse mythology|Norse}} god of thunder {{wp|Thor}}; amulets modelled after the hammer were widely worn as pendants during the {{wp|Viking Age}}, much like Lord Fredrik dons the horn. | |||
