Harey

Donkey Kong and Cranky encounter a Harey in Homecoming Hijinxs

Hareys are large Fluff enemies and members of the Snowmad in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. They have a long white beard furrowed with three wavy lines, and their ears are fastened with ties around their base, similarly to the bun on their head. Hareys are clad in light blue fur and leather suspenders.

Hareys are only encountered in two levels. The first one is Reckless Ride, in which they attempt to hamper the Rocket Barrel-riding Kongs by jumping in front of them. In this instance, they can only be defeated by crashing into them, although this results in the Kongs losing a heart point. One Harey appears in Homecoming Hijinxs, where it slowly hops from side to side, releasing icy shock waves in both directions when it lands. The shock waves are unstoppable and go past the platform's corner and along its side; coming into contact with one such shock wave will hurt the Kongs. A Harey can be defeated with three stomps on its head or with three roll attacks.

Hareys have a closely related enemy, Harolds, which are also heavy and can be defeated in a similar manner. However, they are stationary and attack by throwing Watermelon Fuse Bombs towards the Kongs.
