Today, let's go over the second of the Retro Studios villains created for the new series of games, and the one more in line with the spirit of King K. Rool, Lord Fredrik! Lord Fredrik is the main villain of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and leader of the Snowmads, who uses a magical horn to freeze DK Isle and conquer it as his own. He has plenty of moves of his own, but also as a member of the walrus-like Waldough line of Snowmads, he can also represent them too.

Lord Fredrik makes his debut in the game, blowing into his horn, from which bursts forth an icy dragon that freezes the entire island. He also uses the ice dragons in his boss fight, but to much smaller effect with them freezing a section of the battle stage. He will also jump around and charge across the stage, and use his horn to blast spike balls and enemies onto the stage. His Waldough relatives are also shown to carry around bags of fish that they then throw as projectiles, carry shields, throw gigantic snowballs, and swing around a giant mace with pufferfish on both ends.

Let's see what we can do with all that:

Standard B: Fish Poker
Lord Fredrik's first move will be to make use of the mace wielded by the enemy Fish Poker Pops. He will raise the mace above his head and charge the attack before slamming it down with the puffer fish expanding on impact.

Side B: Chum Chucker
This move is based on the enemy Chum Chucker Charlie, where Lord Fredrik will pull out a bag full of fish and throw them over his head like projectiles at enemies.

Up B: Hootz
This one makes use of one of the unlucky Snowmad types not to make it in, but also reflects Fredrik's position as leader of the Snowmads as well as his penchant for using his minions to his own advantage in a fight. He will grab onto a hootz's legs and let it carry him high into the air.

Down B: Snowmad Horn
He will whip out his giant horn and blow into it, launching several ice balls into the air which will then rain down on top of the other opponents.

Final Smash: Ice Dragon
I mean, what else is there? Lord Fredrik will blow into his horn and an icy dragon will burst forth encircling the stage and freezing both it and any players on it in solid ice. This ice effect will last for a short time after the attack, during which Fredrik is free to do as he pleases.

Entrance: He gets up off of his throne, just like when the Kongs approach in game.

Taunts: Well, since he, like K. Rool, has a prominent belly, the bombastic belly slap wouldn't go amiss here. Also, maybe him ordering a Snowmad around or something.

Thanks for reading! Now that our characters are completed, let's review the roster once again!
