Template:Species-infobox Schnautzels[1] are enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are depicted as pudgy, boar-like enemies that sport orange fur, with a wide red stripe going along their hunched back that ends with a tiny, curly tail. Schnautzels' fur is also traced by wavy stripes resembling flames. Their name is a portmanteau of the German words "Schnauze" (snout) and "Schnitzel" (which is fried meat, referenced by the enemies appearance, and possibly by their burning temper).

Schnautzels attack by shooting rows of six fireballs out of their nostrils. Between each attack, they slowly tread back and forth, always facing the Kongs. They can be defeated by either stomping on them three times, rolling into them the same amount of times, or simply hurling a barrel onto them when possible. They appear in the second world of the game: Autumn Heights.
