'''Blue Hootz''' are common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They look like small, blue owl creatures that wear livid-colored viking helmets with tiny horns. Due to the structure of the helmet, whose margins are descending towards their downward-facing beaks, Blue Hootz always seem to have angry expressions. Their body structure is rather simplistic, being egg-shaped and having two small wings on each side. Unlike the [[Hot Hootz]], which they share traits with, Blue Hootz are always engulfed by dangerous blue flames that never go out unless the enemy is defeated.

'''Blue Hootzes''' are common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]] and a derived enemy from [[Hot Hootz]]es. They resemble squat blue owls, and they wear viking helmets with tiny horns. The margins of their helmets slope downward to their beaks, creating the illusion of a frowning expression.
Blue Hootz either hover stationarily in the air or fly around in set patterns, and usually appear in flocks of two or more. Because of their flames, they are difficult enemies to get around – [[Rambi the Rhino]] is not capable to destroy them. The only way to defeat a Blue Hootz is from a distance with a [[barrel]] or another throwable object. It is also effective to perform a [[Kong POW]] move in their presence to defeat them. Blue Hootz function similarly to the [[Zinger]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Flaming Tiki Buzz]]es of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]/[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|3D]]''.
 
Unlike Hot Hootzes, Blue Hootzes permanently expel ice<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 15. "''The Blue Hootz is similar to the Hot Hootz, except with the element of ice. The good part is they do not fire projectiles, but the downside is that they constantly remain covered in ice. The Blue Hootzes can only be attacked with a barrel or other form of thrown object, so unless you have one in your grasp, avoid these flying icicles at all costs.''"</ref> out of their bodies. They either remain stationary in the air or fly around in a set pattern. Blue Hootzes are most often featured in flocks consisting of two or more. Since they are permanently covered in a frosty aura, Blue Hootzes are difficult to defeat, being harmful and impervious to even [[Cranky Kong]]'s [[Cane Bounce]] or [[Rambi]]. The [[Kong]]s can only defeat a Blue Hootz by throwing a [[barrel]] or another projectile at it, or by using [[Kong POW]] within range.
 
Blue Hootzes act similarly to [[Flaming Tiki Buzz]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.
