'''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 shielded [[Snowmads|Snowmad]] enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. As members of the [[Tucks]] platoon in the Snowmad army, they physically resemble penguins. As stated before, they are characterized by their rigid shields, which they wield as instruments of defense against the Kongs, hence their "trench" attribute.


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.
==Appearance==
[[File:Trench tuck.png|thumb|left]]
Trench Tucks are largely similar to [[Pointy Tucks]], in that they wear large, sharply horned-helmets, as well as leather laces around their necks, with each hanging a Snowmad insignia that lodges on the penguins' chests. However, unlike Pointy Tuckse Trench Tucks possess circular wooden shields, which they use as means of protection against the Kongs.


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]].
==Behavior and combat==
==Gallery==
Trench Tucks defend their frontal sides with rigid wooden shields. With these, the enemies can reject every [[Roll Attack|roll attack]] coming from the [[Kong]]s, pushing the primates behind a bit. The powerful impact into the shield also sends the enemy back a few spaces; however, it can never be driven off the edge of a platform. Like Pointy Tucks, Trench Tucks are dangerous to step on, as they sport spiky long horns embedded in their helmets and pointing upwards. As such, jumping on a Pointy Tucks causes the heroes to lose a [[heart]] from their health meter.

The Kongs alone can only attack a Trench Tucks from behind, with a roll. Another way to defeat a Trench Tucks is by [[Ground Pound|pounding the ground]] near it, action that makes it dizzy; the enemy subsequently drops its shield and leaves its front side open for a roll attack. However, the foe stays confused only temporarily, before rising up and picking up its shield. Alternatively, a Trench Tucks can be defeated by throwing a projectile at it, or by ramming into it with [[Rambi the Rhino]], who can surpass its shield. [[Cranky Kong]]'s [[Cane Bounce]]s are also effective against Trench Tuckses. If shot by a [[popgun]], a Trench Tuck gets stunned for a split second while reinforcing itself with the shield.

Trench Tucks are most commonly found in levels that contain Rambi; that is, [[Frantic Fields]] and [[Meltdown Mayhem]]. One Trench Tucks can be found at the end of [[Rickety Rafters]].
