==Trivia==
*Unlike [[Conker]], another squirrel ally of the [[Kong]]s Flurl is fairly un-anthropomorphic. Whether this means there are two types of squirrel in the [[Donkey Kong Universe]], humanoid ones (like Conker) and un-humanoid ones (like Flurl) is unknown.
*Flurl's name is a combination of the words "float" and "squirrel".

Flurl is a large red squirrel with a giant tail, and its name is a combination of "float" and "squirrel". While usually only one can be seen at a time, two appear on-screen at one point in Ninjape Rally.
