Stilts

Stilts are chicken-like enemies on stilts (as their name implies) that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns. They are enemies that live primarily in the Ruins, but can be found in other places as well.

Appearance
Stilts look a lot like chickens and turkey, as they have the general body shape of a chicken, and a lot of the same feathers. They have bare necks, heads, and legs (much like a turkey) and they appear to use sticks of bamboo as stilts. They have orange tails, as well as wings. When stepped on, however, Stilts lose their stilts and all their feathers. Their bodies are just bare and pink.

Attacks
When on stilts, the only thing they can do to attack is walk towards Donkey Kong, kind of slowly. When jumped on or rolled into, however, they lose their stilts and start running around wildly towards Donkey Kong. One more jump or roll will kill it for good.
