'''Monocle Monicas'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 13.</ref> are strange enemies capable of flying, seen in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They can only be found in the levels of [[Lost Mangroves]], starting with [[Shipwreck Shore]], where they appear in small alcoves with turf-covered walls.
'''Monocle Monicas'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier|location=Roseville|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=13|date=February 21, 2014|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=978-0-804-16252-4}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They are encountered in [[level]]s of the [[Lost Mangroves]] only. These purple dragonfly-like creatures wear a monocle on their left eye and have bird-like beaks (depicted as insect mandibles in concept artwork instead). Monocle Monicas often appear around [[climbing grass|grass]]-covered walls or vines.  Monocle Monicas fly around on set paths. To move, they quickly shift between positions in mid-air: some fly between two positions, other between three in a line, and several follow a rectangular pattern. Monocle Monicas can damage a [[Kong]] upon contact, but the Kongs can defeat them using any attack method. If the Kongs are on a vine and a Monocle Monica flies upwards into them, it counts as being stomped on and defeated.

Monocle Monicas resemble [[wikipedia:Dragonfly|dragonflies]], given their horizontal transparent wings and overall physical constitution, which looks like a caricatured dragonfly's body due to their swelled thoraxes, short abdomens and tiny legs. Their extravagance is marked not only by their big and round beaks, which declare symmetry between two eyes sticked to a small head, but also by their elegant monocles worn on the right eye of each specimen, hence their name. Monocle Monicas display grumpy and concentrated looks.

According to their concept artwork, Monocle Monicas were originally depicted as having small insect mandibles instead of beaks. Nevertheless, their [[wikipedia:Shades of yellow#Mellow yellow|mellow yellow]] color remained consistent.

==Behavior and combat==
The general behavior of Monocle Monicas involves flying in set paths. Unlike [[Hootz]] (flying enemies from the same game), Monocle Monicas have a much more dragonfly-characteristic method to fly, as they hover in one place in midair with their wings rapidly swinging before quickly shifting to another close area. However, flying patterns may vary from an individual to another: some Monocle Monicas fly between two positions, other between three in a row, while other follow rectangular trajectories.
 
Monocle Monicas are quick and can damage the player-controlled [[Kong]] easily. The Kongs can only take out these enemies from the top, with a single [[stomp]]. Although this is prefered to attack a Monocle Monica, other methods, like throwing objects, can be approached.
