Pyrobot

Pyrobots are Ready-Bots that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns. As their name states, Pyrobots use flamethrowers, which can hurt Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Pyrobots come in two models.

The red, older Pyrobot Mk I (also spelled Pyrobot Mk 1 ) is resistant to every kind of direct attack that the Kongs make. However, jumping on one can immobilize it temporarily. The only way to defeat a Mk 1 is to throw a barrel or a Buckbomb at one.

The yellow, newer-looking Pyrobot Mk II is less durable and can be jumped on three times to be defeated. Mk II can also be taken out with barrels. Both kinds of Pyrobots are only found in the Factory area of Donkey Kong Island.

In Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, the red Pyrobots in Robo Factory shoot fire steams out of their heads while the yellow ones act like normal Pyrobots.
