A blue Flotsam.

Flotsams are spotted stingrays that inhabit the waters of Crocodile Isle. Their name is derived from the word "flotsam", which is leftovers from a shipwreck. Flotsams come in two colors: blue and green. Blue Flotsam swim in only one direction, while the green Flotsam can change their direction from left to right; they generally do this when they reach a wall.

History

Donkey Kong Land

A Flotsam-like boss appears in Donkey Kong Land, by the name, Wild Sting, a giant stingray boss. It is able to move above water, and must be jumped on several times to be defeated. Alternatively, this stingray could be the creative inspiration or the forerunner of Flotsam.
