Buffaloafers[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its port. These African buffaloes appear in some levels of the Bright Savannah only, such as Baobab Bonanza and Rickety Rafters. They wear a red bead necklace and sport a golden nose ring. A Buffaloafer is found grazing on grass at first, but when it notices the Kongs, it begins to chase them around while attempting to ram their horns into them. A Buffaloafer tosses the Kongs into the air if they are on top of it, though this does not damage them. If the Kongs are hit by a Buffaloafer, they lose a heart from their health meter. Buffaloafers can be lured into a wall or rolled into their ramming horns to turn them temporarily upside-down, leaving it vulnerable to being stomped three times, defeating it. Cranky Kong can defeat a Buffaloafer by performing three Cane Bounces off its back. Buffaloafers can be lured off a ledge, causing them to fall into a pit, but unlike the other defeat methods, Buffaloafers respawn in their initial spot if the Kongs leave their area and return. In Frantic Fields, a Buffaloafer is flown away by the savannah storm and crashes into a wooden bridge, breaking it before the characters proceed to walk on it.
