'''Fritz'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 13.</ref> are aquatic enemies which appear in the [[Sea Breeze Cove]] levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They make their first level appearance in [[Deep Keep]].

Fritz resemble yellow {{wp|moray eel}}s, hence their plump throats and elongated bodies. Fritz are patterned with violet stripes extending from their heads to their rear sides, dissolving towards their end. Their fins are cyan (yellow in the concept artwork) and placed behind their necks. They also have an underbite, which frames a wide grin, and have a lazy eye. They have a violet crest that goes along their scruff.

Fritz are usually encountered in spacious areas. They regularly teleport themselves between places through self-generated whirlpools. Before teleporting, they grab their tail into their mouths and start swirling rapidly, producing a load of electricity. The electricity is then discharged in the form of plasma balls, which are spread radially around the enemy and disappear after reaching a certain distance. If the Kongs come into contact with a Fritz or its plasma balls, they lose one heart from their health meter. The [[Kong]]s can defeat a Fritz with a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] attack (while it is not charged with electricity) or with [[Cranky Kong]]'s cane swipe.
