Dozies[1] are uncommon enemies appearing inDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and itsenhancedNintendo Switchport of the same name. They appear in many areas of only one world—theLost Mangroves—although a flock of Dozies andSour Dodos can be spotted relaxing on a small isle in the background ofMangrove Cove. Dozies resemble small, pinkdodo birds that don a swim tube around their necks. Their head plumage, as well as their wing and rear plumage, is composed of feathers with orange-colored edges. They also have indigo-colored feet. They have a more aggressive counterpart called the Sour Dodo.
Dozies are generic enemies whose behaviors are comparable toAwks fromDonkey Kong Country Returns, as Dozies walk back and forth, but only inactively attack theKongs by pecking and injuring the Kongs upon simply bumping with them, draining one of their heart points.Donkey,Diddy,Dixie, andCranky (as well asFunky in the enhanced port) can defeat a Dozy using any means of attack, such as a jump, aRoll Attack, or by throwing an object, such as abarrel. AGround Pound can stun them for a brief moment if the Kongs stand close enough to them. They can also be stunned if shot by Diddy, Dixie, or Cranky's popguns.
Dozies' name is derived from "dozy", synonymous with "lazy".
