Giraffe

I love tap!

The Giraffe (キリン) is a white giraffe with orange polka dots that appears in the Rhythm Game Tap Trial.

Giraffes also appear in Animal Acrobat and Jungle Gymnast, where the monkeys swing on them.

Backstory
The Giraffe of Tap Trial is a friend of the monkeys, and is very impressionable and expressive. However, the monkeys find it annoying how it stands next to them as they stoically tap dance. After a while, the monkeys seem to have secretly changed their practice location without telling the giraffe.

The Giraffe usually doesn't show up in Remixes in the Tap Trial sections. However, sprites for it still exist in Remix 7 (the pig version) and Songbird Remix. In the Remix 7 and Remix 8 variant, the Giraffe is replaced with a dragon, and in Tap Trial 2, a camel. Neither of them ever appear onscreen, although interestingly the prologue for Tap Trial 2 does include the camel's legs.
