Bowbow

Bowbows are, most probably, dog-like enemies in the game Donkey Kong for the Game Boy. They have a pale-colored body with a hunched back and stubby arms; they also wear shoes. Their snout is darker in color than their body, and is located right under the place where two beady cartoony eyes pop out. Bowbows display some long, splayed dog ears. They first appear in stage 1-1 in the Big City. Bowbows only walk horizontally on their platform and turn around when they reach an edge or run into another Bowbow. They do not attempt to charge at Mario, but they defeat him if he runs into them. Standing on them is possible, and they can be picked up and thrown at other enemies. If Mario approaches them with the hammer, they run in panic in the direction they are currently facing, which might actually bring them closer to Mario.
