The Lightfish[1] is an Animal Friend in Donkey Kong 64.

The game's official site used the wording "a Lightfish" in reference to it, suggesting that the Lightfish is part of a species.[1]

The Lightfish's in-game model was designed by Chris Seavor, former Rareware game designer and voice actor of Conker the Squirrel.[2]
