Wild Wendell
Template:Species-infobox Wild Wendells[1] are reptilian enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They resemble blue-skinned turtles wearing pilot gear, possibly in keeping with the island's plane wreck motif. Their dominant feature is the large, gibbous shell on their back.
Wild Wendells can be found on both land and water, moving slowly from side to side.[2] They do not actively attack the Kongs, but can drain one heart from their health meter at direct contact. Much like in the case of Tuff Tuckses and Tuff Fluffs, a stomp on a Wild Wendell will stun it for a short time. Immobilized inside its shell, the Wild Wendell can be picked up and thrown to defeat it. Also, the shell can knock out other enemies and obstacles. An alternative way to defeat Wild Wendells is a roll attack.
Lost Mangroves is the only island in the game that hosts Wild Wendells. They are first encountered in Mangrove Cove, where a group of green, Wild-Wendell lookalikes can also be seen lounging on a background isle. However, these individuals only pose as decoration.
