The fish creatures behave differently, depending on their scale coloration. The light-blue Gargantuan Gills stay on the surface of the water they are swimming in, just as much as to become potential threats for the Kongs, who might crash into their sharp appendages and lose one heart. Some of them tend to knock over large wooden structures meant for fishing, initially found in the background, which become hazards for the heroes after falling down. Purple Gargantuan Gills are capable of jumping high above the water, trying to snatch the Kongs, before diving back into the river. Aside from Twilight Terror, two of these make a minor appearance in [[High Tide Ride]], a level in which they bite significant patches of railtrack, thus hindering the Kongs' [[Mine Cart|minecart]] ride. This behavior further proves their characteristic lunging ability, as the railtracks are built high above the water the fish predators are roaming in.

They tend to knock over structures and cause them to potentially fall on the playable characters, damaging them.

Gargantuan Gills display angry figures, and frequently peep out of the water with great stealth, menacingly following the Kongs in the background before eventually committing an action that can be harmful for the heroes. Towards the end of Twilight Terror, the underwater predators become progressively more active. The last Gargantuan Gills to be encountered in the level gets piqued by the heroes and hunts them down a waterfall, which ultimately leads the creature into a deep pond where it meets its doom. The now weak predator becomes a slightly animated prop that lies upon its backside on the bottom, unable to harm the Kongs if they make contact with it.
Purple Gargantuan Gills are more aggressive and jump high above the water, trying to snatch the Kongs before diving back into the river.

Gargantuan Gills are gigantic aquatic predators found in a few vehicle-riding stages of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. One of their characteristic features is the row of razor-resembling appendages going along their spine. Gargantuan Gills behave differently depending on the color.

Light-blue Gargantuan Gills are only found in Twilight Terror, where they often emerge from the water and move in tandem with the Kongs, who fly on a Rocket Barrel above the river. They travel in-between rock outcrops and often collide with underwater items, which are then casted towards the Kongs. They tend to knock over structures and cause them to potentially fall on the playable characters, damaging them. Near the end of the level, a light-blue Gargantuan Gills is piqued by the Kongs and chases them down the river, only to fall down a cascade into a deep pond below. The Kongs can find it again if they dive to the bottom of the pond, where they encounter the fish immobilized and unable to cause harm.

Purple Gargantuan Gills are more aggressive and jump high above the water, trying to snatch the Kongs before diving back into the river. Aside from Twilight Terror, two of the purple variety make a minor appearance in High Tide Ride, where they bite significant patches of railtrack and force the Kongs to jump over the gaps as they ride in their Mine Cart.
