| '''Scoff''' is a giant blue hippopotamus that the [[Kong]]s meet in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In every area of ''Donkey Kong 64'' except for [[Hideout Helm]], the Kongs come across a [[Troff n' Scoff Portal|portal]] which transports them to [[Troff 'n' Scoff|an area]] where Scoff and his buddy [[Troff]] await them. The Kongs must feed Scoff a certain number of [[banana]]s so that he can grow tremendous and lift Troff up to the key using a see-saw like mechanism. However, Scoff inexplicably shrinks to initial size the next time the Kongs meet up with him. After the Kongs defeat [[King K. Rool|King Krusha K. Rool]], both Scoff and Troff retreat to [[DK's Tree House]], where they party with the Kongs and their friends. | |

| | In every area of ''Donkey Kong 64'' (except for [[Hideout Helm]]) the Kongs come across a Scoff n' Troff Portal which transports them to Scoff and his buddy [[Troff]]. It seems Troff has eaten too much and in order for him to reach the key to a Boss Door, the Kongs must feed Scoff a certain number of [[banana]]s so he can lift Troff up to the key using a see-saw like mechanism. |
| *'''Instruction booklet:''' "''Troff’s a pig, Scoff’s a hippo, and both are big, slow and useless. They sit in their nice, cozy room and wait to be fed enough bananas to satisfy their alarming appetites. Once fed, they’re supposed to help you. But a novice player like you won’t be able to collect enough food, so I’d be wasting my precious breath if I told you what they did.''"<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' manual (quote from [[Cranky Kong|Professor Cranky Kong]])|page=11|date=1999|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>

| *'''[[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]''': "''Troff the pig and Scoff the hippo guard the doors that lead to the bosses who hold the eight keys to [[K. Lumsy]]’s cage. Unfortunately, the doors are locked and Troff can’t reach the keys. Help him by feeding bananas to Scoff until he counterbalances Troff. You’ll have to feed Scoff more bananas as you progress, and you can combine all the bananas collected by all the Kongs to reach the total.''"<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Nintendo Player's Guide|page=7|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1999|author=Bihldorff, Nate; Leung, Jason; Williams, Drew}}</ref>

| | After the Kongs defeat [[King K. Rool|King Krusha K. Rool]], both Scoff and Troff retreat to [[DK's Tree House]], where they party with the Kongs and their friends. It is not elaborated on what happens to the duo after the party, as they are not seen in any other ''Donkey Kong'' games to date. |

| [[File:ScoffAlt.jpg|thumb|100px|Scoff, sans piercings.]] | | * Every time Scoff eats a [[banana]] he grows tremendous in size, only to inexplicably shrink in size later on. |
| *Scoff's appearance in-game bears piercings on his nipples; though his earlier artwork reflected that (including in the instruction manual), it was subsequently removed in later promotional material. The same occurred to their counterpart, Troff.
