'''Thug Slugs'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> are sleek-looking slug enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They are only located in the first [[world]] of the game, the [[Lost Mangroves]]. They look angry and carry overly curved hunches with wavy stripes textured on them. The words in their name are rhymed, and describe the malicious behavior of these creatures.

Thug Slugs crawl around a platform, damaging the [[Kong]]s upon coming into contact with them. They are normally vulnerable to any attacks, but when they hang from the underside of a platform, they can only be defeated with a throwing object, such as a [[barrel]]. Thug Slugs can be stunned briefly by shooting them with a [[popgun]] or ground pounding next to them.
Thug Slugs are capable of traversing platforms from all sides, not just from their top. They crawl straightforwardly at a hasty pace in an attempt to touch and hurt the [[Kong]]s. A Thug Slug cannot be attacked by regular attacks when they are clinging to ceilings or vertical surfaces, and can only be defeated by tossing a carriable object, such as a [[barrel]], into it. However, Slug Thugs can be defeated by any of the player's attacks once it returns on ground, and a single [[stomp]] can defeat it.


Thug Slugs are first found in [[Canopy Chaos]], where they mostly reside in treetops, though a few also circulate around metallic platforms. In [[Trunk Twister]], only one Thug Slug is encountered at the beginning of the level.
It is possible to briefly stun this enemy by making it dizzy. This can be achieved by either shooting into it with a [[popgun]], or ground pounding next to it.

==Names in other languages==
Thug Slugs tend to be rather rare, as there are only two levels that feature them, the first being [[Canopy Chaos]]. Here, they can be mostly found crawling on treetops, but also artificial platforms. The second level is [[Trunk Twister]], which concentrates less on these enemies, since there is only one that can be encountered at the beginning of the stage.
