Schnautzels[1] are boar enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. They only appear in the Autumn Heights levels Windmill Hills and Horn Top Hop. Their name is a pun mixing the German words "Schnauze" (snout) and "Schnitzel" (cutlet), as well as the English word "snot".
Schnautzels attack by shooting rows of six fireballs out of their nostrils at the Kongs. Between each attack, they slowly tread back and forth, always focused on the Kongs. The Kongs can defeat a Schnautzel by either stomping or rolling into it three times, or by throwing a single barrel at it. Schnautzels can be stunned with a Ground Pound, a state in which they lift their leg up and rotate their head dizzily.
A Schnautzel briefly appears in the short introduction cutscene of Windmill Hill. A Cheesy Chester holds up a stick with some bananas on it in front of a Schnautzel, who then proceeds to burn the bananas.
