==Appearance==
Tucks walk slowly from side to side, and if touched from the sides, they will slap the [[Kong]]s and cause them to lose one heart from their health counter. However, Tucks are vulnerable to absolutely any attack, such as a [[stomp]] on their broad hunches, a [[Roll Attack|roll]] move, or a projectile tossed at them. Due to their primitive method of defense, which is identical to that of [[Goomba]]s from the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games, Tucks can be compared to [[Kritter]]s, [[Klomp]]s, [[Kobble]]s, and [[Tiki Goon]]s from the previous installments of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games.
Tucks wear green, striped trousers tightened around their waists with knitted ropes. They are pudgy and hunched. Their legs are very short and stubby, and their feet are broad and membranous.
 
==Behavior and combat==
Tucks walk slowly from side to side, with this being their only strategy of attacking. If the [[Kong]]s normally touch a Tucks from any side but the top, they get slapped by the enemy and lose a heart from their health bar, which brings them closer to losing a [[Extra Life Balloon|life]]. However, Tucks are vulnerable to absolutely any attack techniques, as they are the most basic grunts out of all [[Snowmads|Snowmad]] warriors: a [[stomp]] on their broad hunches, a [[Roll Attack|roll]] move under their feet, or a projectile tossed at them can crush or vanquish them.

Template:Species-infobox Template:Quote2 Tucks are common enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are pudgy and hunched penguin-like members of the Snowmads and are also among the most common and easy to defeat species in the game. They wear green striped trousers tightened around their waists with knitted ropes.

Tucks walk slowly from side to side, and if touched from the sides, they will slap the Kongs and cause them to lose one heart from their health counter. However, Tucks are vulnerable to absolutely any attack, such as a stomp on their broad hunches, a roll move, or a projectile tossed at them. Due to their primitive method of defense, which is identical to that of Goombas from the Mario games, Tucks can be compared to Kritters, Klomps, Kobbles, and Tiki Goons from the previous installments of the Donkey Kong Country games.
