Template:Species-infobox DoziesTemplate:Refneeded are uncommon enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are directly encountered in many areas of the Lost Mangroves, but a flock of Dozies and Sour Dodos can be spotted relaxing on a small isle in the background of Mangrove Cove.

Appearance

Dozies resemble the now extinct dodo birds from real life. They are purple and small yet haughty, as evidenced by their walking style. Dozies wear swim tubes arund their rather thin necks, the former being seemingly smaller even than their heads. These bird-like creatures have exaggeratedly large, curved beaks, with a tiny lower jaw. They always seem relaxed, as suggested by the careless looks in their eyes and their default speed of walking, which is quite reduced. Their head plumage, as well as their wing and rear plumage, is composed of feathers whose edges are colored orange. The feathers on their rears are arranged like hand fans.

Behavior and combat

Dozies are generic enemies that apparently do not show any interest in hurting the Kongs. They only stroll back and forth, but are still dangerous to the heroes if they come too close to them, thus being technically similar to the Goombas from the 2D Mario games. On the other hand, they have much more aggressive counterparts called Sour Dodos.

It is possible for the player to defeat a Dozy by any method of combat. A stomp on their heads, a swift roll attack on either of their sides, or a carriable object thrown at them is effective against Dozies. A ground pound can potentially stun them if the Kongs are close enough. An even shorter-lasting result is obtained when Dozies are shot by Diddy, Dixie, or Cranky's guns.
