A Buffaloafer's temper is similar to that of a bull. After spotting the [[Kong]]s, Buffaloafers try to attack them by ramming their large, crooked horns into the Kongs. Before that, they can be seen ruminating on patches of ground that host tall grass. They can potentially crash into a wall in their pursue of the Kongs. Upon hitting the wall, Buffaloafers turn upside-down, leaving their bellies discovered and bound to get stomped on three times, causing them to be defeated. They can also turn on their backs if the Kongs collide with a swift [[Roll Attack|roll]] into their ramming horns. An instant defeat can be obtained if the player lures the creatures off a ledge.

The Kongs can simply jump over them to avoid getting rammed, but the enemies will change direction immediately. If the characters jump on top of a Buffaloafer, the enemy will throw them up in the air, causing them to lose control briefly but without inflicting damage.


Nevertheless, Buffaloafers are massive and make use of a great strength. They can throw the Kongs up in the air if the latter try to land on their backs, and can cause damage with their enormous horns, taking out one heart from the Kongs' health bar with each hit. On the other hand, [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] can perform a [[Cane Bounce]] on the buffaloes' backs and beat them in three hits.
When they are lured into a wall, Buffaloafers turn upside-down and reveal their vulnerable bellies, where the Kongs can apply three stomp attacks to defeat them.

[[Cranky Kong]] can perform three [[Cane Bounce]]s on a Buffaloafer's back to defeat it more directly.

Buffaloafers are initially found grazing on grass in one place. When they notice the Kongs, Buffaloafers try to attack them by ramming their large, crooked horns into them. The Kongs can simply jump over them to avoid getting rammed, but the enemies will change direction immediately. If the characters jump on top of a Buffaloafer, the enemy will throw them up in the air, causing them to lose control briefly but without inflicting damage.

When they are lured into a wall, Buffaloafers turn upside-down and reveal their vulnerable bellies, where the Kongs can apply three stomp attacks to defeat them. They can also be turned on their backs if the Kongs collide with a roll attack into their ramming horns. Cranky Kong can perform three Cane Bounces on a Buffaloafer's back to defeat it more directly. The player can also attract the creatures off a ledge, although they will reapper in their inital spot if the Kongs leave their area and return.

Buffaloafers are solitary and can be found in Baobab Bonanza and Rickety Rafters, where they behave the way described above. In Frantic Fields, a Buffaloafer is flown away by the savannah storm and crashes into a wooden bridge, breaking it right in front of the characters.
