'''Koindozers''' are a rare dark pink sub-species of [[Koin]]s encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Koindozers are encountered in only one level; "[[Koindozer Klamber]]", which is located in the game's final area, [[KAOS Kore]]. Koindozers' name is derived from Koin and "[[:Wikipedia:Bulldozer|bulldozer]]". Although Koindozers do not appear in the game's credits, they may belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
