| '''Trench Tucks''' are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They are a variant of [[Tucks]], more specifically, [[Pointy Tucks]]. Trench Tucks look identical to Pointy Tucks except for the rigid, wooden shield that they carry to defend against the [[Kong]]s.

| Trench Tucks walk from side to side and carry the shield in front of them. The shield blocks any [[Roll Attack]] from the Kongs and pushes them back a bit. The impact also sends the enemy back a few spaces, but it can never be driven off the edge of a platform. Like Pointy Tucks, Trench Tucks are harmful to jump on due to the spiky long horns embedded in their helmets. | | '''Trench Tucks''' are uncommon enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', first appearing in the level [[Horn Top Hop]]. They are penguin-like members of the [[Snowmad]]s wearing viking helmets and a collar with the Snowmad logo on it, nearly identical to [[Pointy Tuck]]s, except that they don't wear helmets. They can be defeated by jumping on their heads. |
| | |
| | Trench Tucks, as their name suggests, live in holes in the ground, and randomly jump out when the Kongs approach. However, they do not jump on their own, instead being controlled by [[Hootz]] in the background blowing into pipes to make them come out. |
|
| |
|
| The Kongs can [[Hand Slap|Ground Pound]] near a Trench Tucks to make it drop the shield and leave an opening for a frontal Roll Attack. More direct ways to attack a Trench Tucks include rolling into it from behind, [[Cane Bounce|bouncing off its head]] with [[Cranky Kong]]'s cane, tossing a projectile such as a [[barrel]] or a [[Water Sack]], or ramming into it with [[Rambi]], who can surpass the shield. Trench Tucks stop in place when shot with a [[popgun]], but this will not make them drop their shield.

|
| |
|
| Trench Tucks most often appear in levels with Rambi such as [[Frantic Fields]] and [[Meltdown Mayhem]]. A single Trench Tucks appears at the end of [[Rickety Rafters]].
