Similar to Tiki Buzzes, they are large, wooden, drum-shaped [[Tiki Tak Tribe|Tiki]]s with eyes carved into them. They also have yellow noses that take up much of the center of their faces, along with red wings and dark tail feathers. Using their wings, they can float in the air, moving in all directions. They are often placed over wide gaps, allowing the [[Kong]]s to jump on them in order to progress. Sometimes, they may also be utilized to bounce to high areas that cannot be reached with a simple jump. In [[Flutter Flyaway]], they are trapped in wooden cages with platforms on them, which Kongs can jump on to cross large abysses. Unless the Tiki Torks are in cages, the Kongs can defeat them by jumping on them a total of three times, rolling into them, throwing a [[barrel]] at them, or sending [[Rambi the Rhino]] to slam into them. Caged Tiki Torks cannot be defeated, but this is not necessary as they cannot harm the Kongs when in cages.
Tiki Torks are similar to Tiki Buzzes in behavior and appearance. Like their main relative, Tiki Torks are large, wooden, drum-shaped [[Tiki Tak Tribe|Tiki]]s, but they have red eyes rather than black. Tiki Torks have two red down-arrow stripes on the center of their face, which Tiki Buzzes do not have.
 
[[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can defeat a Tiki Tork by jumping on it three times (unlike Tiki Buzzes, which only require a single hit). Tiki Torks are vulnerable to every other attack, including a [[Roll Attack]], throwing a [[barrel]], or hitting them with [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]]. Like Tiki Buzzes, the [[Kong]]s must sometimes jump on Tiki Torks to get across large gaps and reach higher areas.
 
In [[Flutter Flyaway]], there are Tiki Torks trapped in cages. They mainly serve as platforms for the Kongs to get across the level. The caged Tiki Torks cannot be defeated, and the Kongs can continually bounce on them.

Template:Species-infobox Tiki Torks[1] are a larger variant of Tiki Buzzes and enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.

Tiki Torks are similar to Tiki Buzzes in behavior and appearance. Like their main relative, Tiki Torks are large, wooden, drum-shaped Tikis, but they have red eyes rather than black. Tiki Torks have two red down-arrow stripes on the center of their face, which Tiki Buzzes do not have.

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can defeat a Tiki Tork by jumping on it three times (unlike Tiki Buzzes, which only require a single hit). Tiki Torks are vulnerable to every other attack, including a Roll Attack, throwing a barrel, or hitting them with Rambi. Like Tiki Buzzes, the Kongs must sometimes jump on Tiki Torks to get across large gaps and reach higher areas.

In Flutter Flyaway, there are Tiki Torks trapped in cages. They mainly serve as platforms for the Kongs to get across the level. The caged Tiki Torks cannot be defeated, and the Kongs can continually bounce on them.
