==Appearance==
Archies resemble navy blue-colored pudgy penguins with slightly bulging eyes, skimming the end of a thick beak. They bear puffy wristbands fastened with leather shreds on their flippers, and display hair knots on top of their heads. They are slightly hunched and normally appear to stand firm, hence their predatory attitude and tensioned position during movement.
==Behavior and combat==

Archies attack by shooting their long and pointy fish using their bows, in the manner of one shooting arrows. They project three such fish in a row before walking back and forth, keeping their look focused in the direction they are currently facing. When in mid-air, the fish travel in a straight line and at a constant velocity, despawning into clouds of dust whenever they crash into a wall. The [[Kong]]s lose a heart from their health bar if the fish projectiles pounce them. These, however, can be stomped on and, occasionally, used as objects of traversal above pits or spiked floor. Archies can be defeated by any attack method (e.g. [[stomp]]ing, [[Roll Attack|roll attacks]], tossed [[barrel]]s).

Archies walk back and forth, keeping their look focused on the Kongs. After a short while, they start shooting three consecutive fish from their quiver, using their bows as if they were shooting arrows. When in mid-air, the fish travel in a straight line and at a constant speed, destroying themselves once they crash into a wall or reach a certain distance. The Kongs lose a heart from their health bar if hit by these fish projectiles. However, they can be stomped on and, occasionally, used to traverse pits or spiked floor. Archies themselves can be defeated by any attack method (e.g. stomping, roll attacks, tossed barrels).

Archy fish projectiles redeem the role of Squidlies from Donkey Kong Country Returns as slender, arrowy, and horizontally positioned enemies that are shot by a malicious creature.

A red variety of Archies also exists, which use fishbones engulfed in flames instead of carnal fish.
