Cordian[1][2] is a high-ranking member of the Tiki Tak Tribe. Its name is a shortening of accordian, the musical instrument it is based on. The bellows on Cordian resembles a hat, and there is a feather on top.
History
Donkey Kong Country Returns (3D / HD)
Cordian is encountered in Feather Fiend, the boss level of the Factory world in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its 3DS and Nintendo Switch ports. In the level, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong see Colonel Pluck mashing bananas to create Tikis; he has already been hypnotized, presumedly by Cordian. When Colonel Pluck notices the Kongs, the effect wears off, causing Cordian to hypnotize him again to fight the Kongs.
In the final level of the game, Tiki Tong Terror, Cordian and the other high-ranking members of the Tiki Tak Tribe are converted into hands for Tiki Tong.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Cordian is part of the Tiki Tak Tribe spirit, which includes all of the members who hypnotize bosses in Donkey Kong Country Returns.
