'''Tucks''' are common enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They are pudgy and hunched penguin-like members of the [[Snowmads]] and are also among the most common and easy to defeat species in the game. They wear green striped trousers tightened around their waists with a knotted rope.

Tucks walk slowly from side to side, and if touched from the sides, they will slap the [[Kong]]s and cause them to lose one heart from their health counter. However, Tucks are vulnerable to absolutely any attack, such as a [[stomp]] on their broad hunches, a [[Roll Attack|roll]] move, or a projectile tossed at them. Due to their primitive method of defense, Tucks can be compared to [[Kritter]]s, [[Klomp]]s, [[Kobble]]s, and [[Tiki Goon]]s from the previous installments of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games.
