Glitzoids are reptilian enemies in Donkey Kong Bananza, first appearing on the Hilltop Layer. They are brown lizards with large tails made of Banandium Chips, and are based on species of lizards that drop their tails, such as agamas and geckos.
Typically, Glitzoids are found in areas covered in mud. When a Glitzoid is approached by Donkey Kong, it will begin to run haphazardly on the mud at high speeds; unlike Donkey Kong, they are not slowed down by the terrain. If attacked by Donkey Kong or Pauline, Banandium Chips will be dropped from its tail which shrinks accordingly. After several attacks, a Glitzoid can be defeated, and all Banandium Chips remaining in its tail will be released.
Naming[edit]
The English name comes from the word "glitz". Its name also includes the "-oid" suffix shared by most of the Underground World's enemies, in reference to their creator, the Void Company. It may also incorporate "blitz" (in reference to their fast movement speed) or "lizard".
Glitzoids are never named in the base game, only being given a name in Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush.
