Buffaloafer
Template:Species-infobox BuffaloafersTemplate:Refneeded are rare creatures resembling African buffaloes. Their role is that of enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and are only encountered in some levels of Bright Savannah. A Buffaloafer wears a red bead necklace and sports a golden ring that pierces its snout.
A Buffaloafer's temper is similar to that of a bull. After spotting the Kongs, Buffaloafers try to attack them by ramming their large, crooked horns into the Kongs. Before that, they can be seen ruminating on patches of ground that host tall grass. Their anger is so unrestrained, that they can even crash into a wall in their pursue of the Kongs. Upon hitting the wall, Buffaloafers turn upside-down, leaving their bellies discovered and ready to get stomped on three times, which grants defeat for the animal. An instant defeat can be obtained if the player lures the creature off a ledge.
Nevertheless, Buffaloafers are massive and make use of a great strength. They can throw the Kongs up in the air if the latter try to land on their backs, and can cause damage with their enormous horns. On the other hand, Cranky can perform a Cane Bounce on the buffaloes' backs and beat them in three hits.
Buffaloafers are solitary in the game and can be found in Baobab Bonanza, as well as Rickety Rafters, where they behave the way described above. In Frantic Fields, a Buffaloafer is flown away by the savannah storm and crashed into a wooden bridge, breaking it right in front of the heroes.
