The Tiki Tak Tribe is a group of the main antagonists in the Wii game Donkey Kong Country Returns.
History
In the opening of the game, the Tiki Tak Tribe are seen emerging from rocks that are spewed out of the volcano on Donkey Kong Island when the giant statue rises out of it, causing it to erupt. Moments after landing, they hypnotize the animals of the island, who proceed to steal Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard. A Tiki then drops into Donkey Kong's house, but he is unaffected by their hypnotic powers. They then pose as the main villains and enemies in the game's levels, and can be considered the game's equivalent of Kremlings.
Physical Appearance
Most of the Tiki Tak Tribe resemble floating wooden tiki masks, many are adorned with colored feathers. However, they come in a variety of colors and shapes, such as the Tiki Goons that resemble bongos or drums and Tiki Buzzes that resemble birds with wooden wings to their sides. The main servants of Tiki Tong are notable to resemble musical instruments, and most of them have a pair of skinny, twig-like arms.
Special Powers and Abilities
The Tikis are shown to have many abilities. They are shown to be quite agile, for masks. Some are able to float freely in the air, while others, like the Tiki Buzzes, have the ability to fly by fluttering their wings. Other tikis have the ability to resist the physical attacks of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong like the Tiki Doom and Tiki Tank which which can only be defeated by throwing a barrel at them or with the help of an Animal Buddy like Rambi the Rhinoceros. The tikis are also known to use fire. Despite apparently being made from wood, most tikis are resistant to be engulfed by fire and some use this element against the Kongs to attack and defend. Tiki Torches are an example. Tiki Tong's main servants possess the ability to hypnotize other animals and control them. However it seems the ability doesn't work on all the animals, as Donkey Kong is not affected by their powers as seen in the intro of the game. Although they count with these powers and abilities, all the members of the Tiki Tak Tribe need bananas because these fruits are the Tikis' main source of power. As seen in Donkey Kong Island's factory, a Tiki can come to life when a special substance from the bananas is incorporated into its body.
