'''Buffaloafers'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 12.</ref> are rare bovine creatures resembling [[wiktionary:African buffalo|African buffaloes]]. Their role is that of enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', and are only encountered in some levels of [[Bright Savannah]]. A Buffaloafer wears a red bead necklace and sports a golden ring that pierces its snout.

A Buffaloafer's temper is similar to that of a bull. After spotting the [[Kong]]s, Buffaloafers try to attack them by ramming their large, crooked horns into the Kongs. Before that, they can be seen ruminating on patches of ground that host tall grass. They can potentially crash into a wall in their pursue of the Kongs. Upon hitting the wall, Buffaloafers turn upside-down, leaving their bellies discovered and bound to get stomped on three times, action that grants the animals' defeat. They can also turn on their backs if the Kongs collide with a swift [[Barrel Roll (move)|roll]] into their ramming horns. An instant defeat can be obtained if the player lures the creatures off a ledge.

Nevertheless, Buffaloafers are massive and make use of a great strength. They can throw the Kongs up in the air if the latter try to land on their backs, and can cause damage with their enormous horns, taking out one heart from the Kongs' health bar with each hit. On the other hand, [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] can perform a [[Cane Bounce]] on the buffaloes' backs and beat them in three hits.

Buffaloafers are solitary in the game and can be found in [[Baobab Bonanza]], as well as [[Rickety Rafters]], where they behave the way described above. In [[Frantic Fields]], a Buffaloafer is flown away by the savannah storm and crashed into a wooden bridge, breaking it right in front of the heroes.
