Template:Species-infobox Schnautzels[1] are enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are depicted as pudgy wild boar-like creatures which sport orange fur, with a wide red stripe going along their hunched back that ends with a tiny, curly tail. Schnautzels' fur is also traced by wavy stripes, starting with their rears; these lines are akin to flames, which characterise these enemies.
Their pink snouts are large in relation to their body, and are gently surrounded by two small tusks protruding from within their mouths. The mouths are surrounded by small manes as well, and when open, they leave in sight rows of straight teeth, in spite of the sharp fangs. Their ears are pointed upwards, while their looks are always menacing and vengeful. Schnauztels' feet are small and support their mass with diffculty, as seen from these creatures' slow walk. Their name is a portmanteau of the German words "Schnauze" (snout) and "Schnitzel" (which is fried meat, referenced by the enemies' hog-like appearance, and possibly by their burning temper, described below).
Schnautzels attack by shooting rows of six fireballs out of their big nostrils, which can cause damage to the Kongs. They can be defeated by either stomping on them three times, rolling into them the same amount of times, or simply hurling a barrel onto them when possible; after the defeat, Schautzels will turn towards the camera, startling and having crazed looks in their eyes, before dissapearing in small clouds of dust. They inhabit the second world of the game: Autumn Heights.
Trivia
- Schnautzels share their countenance and behavior with Gale Hawgs, enemies from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Aside from being wild boar-like enemies, they defend themselves by using their snouts as flame throwers, similarly to Schnautzels. Thus, the latter might have drawn inspiration from Gale Hawgs.
