This article is about the primary penguin enemy species in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. For the bouncing variant of the same enemy, see Tucks (bouncing).

Template:Species-infobox Template:Quote2 Tucks are pudgy, hunched penguins that appear as common enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are the Snowmads' most common foot soldiers, comparable to Tiki Goons from Donkey Kong Country Returns. Tucks wear tightened green striped pants with a knotted rope around their waist. Their name is likely derived from "tuxedo", which penguins are often said to be wearing in reference to their black and white feather pattern.

Tucks walk slowly from side to side. If the Kongs get in contact with a Tucks, it slaps them, causing them to lose a heart of their health. Tucks are among the weakest enemies in the game and can be defeated by any attack, such as a stomp or a roll attack. Tucks sometimes appear in groups, so the Kongs can jump on them in succession to potentially earn a Banana Coin.
