Pufftups[1] are underwater enemies which appear in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They resemble real life pufferfish, due to their primary method of defense as well as appearance. Pufftups have small and smooth round bodies, narrowing abruptly towards their tail fins. In their normal state, they are approximately the size of the Kongs; Pufftups are able to inflate themselves to a much larger size. They have a golden coloration and display stressed looks. They also feature an underbite, and their mouths are framed by two thick lips.

However, simply coming into contact with a shrunken Pufftup is harmful for the primate heroes. Pufftups swell and shrink at irregular times, as they swim from side to side and traverse a certain small distance underwater.
Pufftups inhabit the waters of Sea Breeze Cove, and can be encountered in Amiss Abyss, Irate Eight, and Shoal Atoll, three levels of this world.
