'''Buffaloafers'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 12.</ref> are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. These {{wp|African buffalo}}es are only encountered in some levels of [[Bright Savannah]]. They wear a red bead necklace and sport a golden ring that pierces their snout.

Buffaloafers are initially found grazing on grass. When they notice the [[Kong]]s, Buffaloafers start chasing them around in an attempt to ram their horns into them. If the characters jump on top of a Buffaloafer, the enemy tosses them in the air, causing the player to briefly lose control over the Kongs but without inflicting damage on the characters. Getting hit by a Buffaloafer results in the Kongs losing a heart from their health meter.

Buffaloafers can be lured into a wall or [[Roll Attack|rolled]] into their ramming horns to turn them temporarily upside-down, a state in which the Buffaloafer is vulnerable to stomp attacks, three of which are needed to defeat it. [[Cranky Kong]] can more directly defeat a Buffaloafer by performing three [[Cane Bounce]]s off its back. Buffaloafers can be lured off a ledge, causing them to fall into a pit; however, unlike with other defeat methods, they respawn in their inital spot if the Kongs leave their area and return.

Buffaloafers can be found in [[Baobab Bonanza]] and [[Rickety Rafters]], where they behave the way described above. In [[Frantic Fields]], a Buffaloafer is flown away by the savannah storm and crashes into a wooden bridge, breaking it before the characters proceed to walk on it.
