Frogoon

Template:Species-infobox Frogoons are frog-like creatures in Donkey Kong Country Returns. They are green frog-like foes who follow the bidding of the Tiki Tak Tribe. Frogoons hinder the Kongs with attacks that involve jumping and down in place. They can jump higher than usual by inflating their bodies. Donkey Kong can easily subdue Frogoons by jumping on top of them, causing them to deflate. Frogoons frequently appear close to each other in groups allowing Donkey Kong to defeat all of them in one fell swoop.

A Hopgoon.

Frogoons also have a relative, known as the Hopgoon. They behave in a similar manner as the Frogoon. However, instead of inflating themselves in one place, Hopgoons move around the level, and can hop over gaps. These enemies can becomes a nuisance when trying to pass over a gap. Like with the Frogoon, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can easily defeat them with a jump, by rolling into them, with Rambi, or with a barrel.

Name origin

• The name "Frogoon" may originate from the creature's frog-like appearance and its ability to inflate itself like a balloon.
