| |species=Fish | | '''Glower the Tadpole''' is an unplayable [[Animal Buddy]] who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' in the Gloomy Galleon level. He's basically just like [[Glimmer|Glimmer the Anglerfish]] and was brought in to possibly bring more variety to animal buddies or to give an origin to [[Winky]] and other frogs. Both are most likely right seeing [[Rare]]'s ways. He appears in the two sunken ships at the level. Meaning that there might be two or that the two ships are connected somehow. His name is made up of fanon as he was never given a real name or even mentioned. Whether or not he has grew into a Winky type frog or even just a grey or green recolor is unknown. |

It only appears in [[Gloomy Galleon]], where it follows the active [[Kong]] inside the sunken ships and helps them navigate its dark cabins by lighting up the path forward, much like [[Glimmer]] does in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Whenever it is nearby, a bubbling sound plays. The game's official site used the wording "a Lightfish" in reference to it, suggesting that the Lightfish is part of a species.<ref name=Lightfish/>

| The German strategy guide and Spanish Nintendo website both refer to the Lightfish as Glimmer;<ref name=GermanGuide /><ref name=SpanishSite /> the former also features artwork of the Lightfish with a mildly different appearance, much more similar to the ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' Animal Friend. | | The appearance of Glower may also point to the fate of his predecessor, Glimmer, who is seen in what are likely his final moments at the hands (or teeth) of a [[Lockjaw]] on the boxart of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' - a game which Glimmer didn't appear in. Glimmer hasn't appeared since his possible 'death' between ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. |
