'''Ziggies''' are [[Rabbid]] enemies in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. They are the first enemies encountered in the game, and as such have basic stats. Ziggies are identifiable by their various styles of gun slings and small guns. They generally are not much of a threat compared to other enemies, but all variants except the Garden Ziggy can use a "reaction shot" technique that allows them to hit the heroes in motion (whether moving on their turn or being forced to move by a Super Effect or special technique). Along with [[Buckler]]s, Ziggies are also one of the only enemies to have a dash attack. Their name is taken from {{wp|Ziggy Stardust (character)|Ziggy Stardust}}, a character and stage persona created by English rock musician {{wp|David Bowie}}, tying in with Garden Ziggies' {{wp|glam rock}}-inspired outfits and makeup. The latter further references the character by depicting lightning bolts over the Rabbids' faces, nodding to a similar design that Bowie wears on the cover photo for his 1973 album ''{{wp|Aladdin Sane}}'', his last release before retiring Ziggy as a stage persona.

During the opening cutscene, one Ziggy is shown to be created from [[Spawny]] accidentally merging a Rabbid with a brush. Three of them are next seen using honey to stick [[Goomba]]s together, which [[Rabbid Peach]] sees as "cute". After they notice [[Mario]], [[Rabbid Luigi]], and Rabbid Peach, they bring out their guns and slowly start moving back (while occasionally losing balance on their feet), with the last one turning around completely, and the introductory tagline appearing while it is running. Ziggies are the only characters whose introductory cutscene does not immediately end with the battle starting or the cutscene continuing, as the player can move around the area before the battle starts.
