| '''Pufftups'''<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier|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 underwater enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' as well as its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They resemble real life {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}}, due to their appearance and primary method of defense. They appear in three levels of [[Sea Breeze Cove]] - [[Amiss Abyss]], [[Irate Eight]], and [[Shoal Atoll]].

| Pufftups swell and shrink at irregular times, as they swim from side to side and traverse only a certain small distance underwater. When they inflate themselves, in addition to growing in size, Pufftups reveal numerous spikes. If the [[Kong]]s swim into a swollen Pufftup, they risk getting damaged by the spikes. If they are stung, the Kongs lose a single [[heart]] from their health meter. During this inflated state, Pufftups are only vulnerable to [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]]'s cane swipe, which can defeat them. When deflated, Pufftups conceal their spikes, opening them to attacks such as [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrews]], though swimming normally into a Pufftup can still harm the Kongs. | | '''Pufftups''' are puffer fish-like enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. |
| | |
| | When a Pufftup sees the Kongs, it will blow itself to a much bigger size which can only be defeated by [[Cranky Kong]]'s cane swipe, however, they are vulnerable to any attack when deflated. They are light brown and get startled when they puff up. |

|
| Their name is a blend of the words in the phrasal verb "[[wiktionary:puff up|puffed up]]", which refers to something inflated with air. They are very similar to [[Puftup]]s, another pufferfish enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', both in behavior and name.
