Fangfish,[1] known in a pre-release stage of development as Pucka Jr.,[2] are large predatory[3] fish enemies encountered in a few underwater levels of Kremlantis and a single Chimpanzee Clouds and Big Ape City level in Donkey Kong Land. They are not particularly fast enemies, but they usually appear swimming in a waving motion, sometimes going back and forth, blocking much of the Kongs' path. Fangfishes can also swim behind walls, causing them to be invisible to the player temporarily. Because of their large body mass, Fangfish are quite similar to Chomps, although Fangfish are slightly bigger than Chomps and have more erratic movement behavior.
Smaller relatives of Fangfish also appear commonly in the same areas, known as Gloop.
