Dozies[1] are uncommon enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its enhanced Nintendo Switch port of the same name. They appear in many areas of only one world—the Lost Mangroves—although a flock of Dozies and Sour Dodos can be spotted relaxing on a small isle in the background of Mangrove Cove. Dozies resemble small, pink dodo 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 to Awks from Donkey Kong Country Returns, as Dozies walk back and forth, but only inactively attack the Kongs by pecking and injuring the Kongs upon simply bumping with them, draining one of their heart points. Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky (as well as Funky in the enhanced port) can defeat a Dozy using any means of attack, such as a jump, a Roll Attack, or by throwing an object, such as a barrel. A Ground 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".
