Trench Tucks

First appearance	Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014)
Latest appearance	Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch) (2018)
Variant of	Pointy Tucks

Trench Tucks are enemies inDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switchport. They are a variant ofTucks, more specifically,Pointy Tucks. Trench Tucks look identical to Pointy Tucks except for the rigid, wooden shield that they carry to defend against theKongs.

Trench Tucks walk from side to side and carry the shield in front of them. The shield blocks anyRoll Attack from the Kongs and pushes them back a bit. The impact also sends the enemy back a few spaces, but it can never be driven off the edge of a platform. Like Pointy Tucks, Trench Tucks are harmful to jump on due to the spiky long horns embedded in their helmets.

The Kongs canGround Pound near a Trench Tucks to make it drop the shield and leave an opening for a frontal Roll Attack. More direct ways to attack a Trench Tucks include rolling into it from behind,bouncing off its head withCranky Kong's cane, tossing a projectile such as abarrel or aWater Sack, or ramming into it withRambi, who can surpass the shield. Trench Tucks stop in place when shot with apopgun, but this will not make them drop their shield.

Trench Tucks most often appear in levels with Rambi such asFrantic Fields andMeltdown Mayhem. A single Trench Tucks appears at the end ofRickety Rafters.
