'''Pufftups'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 13.</ref> are underwater enemies which appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They resemble real life [[wikipedia:Tetraodontidae|pufferfish]], due to their primary method of defense and their appearance. They appear in three levels of [[Sea Breeze Cove]], including [[Amiss Abyss]], [[Irate Eight]], and [[Shoal Atoll]].

Pufftups have small and smooth round bodies, narrowing abruptly towards their tail fins. They are able to inflate themselves to a much larger size; in their normal state, Pufftups are approximately the size of the [[Kong]]s. They feature golden skin coloration and display stressed looks. They also feature an underbite, and their mouths are framed by two thick lips.

Their name is a compound of 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.

Pufftups can inflate themselves, growing in size and revealing numerous spikes on the surface of their bodies as a result. The [[Kong]]s cannot perform a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|corkscrew]] attack on a swollen Pufftup, as they risk getting damaged by the enemy's spikes. Upon getting stung by the spikes, the Kongs lose a single [[heart]] from their health meter, bringing them closer to losing a life. During this inflated state, Pufftups are only vulnerable to [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]]'s cane swipe, which defeats them.

Pufftups frequently inflate themselves as means of defense. When deflated, their spikes are retracted, enabling the Kongs to attack the fish enemies, including from a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|corkscrew]]. However, simply coming into contact with a shrunken Pufftup is harmful for the primate heroes. Pufftups swell and shrink at irregular times, as they swim from side to side and traverse a certain small distance underwater.

-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.
