Hopgoons[1] are enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS port, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. They are a slightly stronger variant of Frogoon, and look exactly alike except for being yellow in color.

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can easily defeat them with a jump, by rolling into them, with Rambi, or with a barrel. While Frogoons can be defeated by Diddy Kong's Peanut Popgun, Hopgoons are only stunned by it.
