The '''Tiki Tak Tribe''' is an organization of wooden creatures called '''Tikis''', who appear as the main antagonists in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its 3DS port ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. The tribe is led by [[Tiki Tong]], a huge tiki resembling a drum with a crown. Similar to the [[Kremling Krew]] from previous ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series titles, there are higher and lower-ranked members of the Tiki Tak Tribe. The higher-rank members are capable of hypnotizing other characters, such as other animals and a boss in each world. The lower-rank members make up the recurring enemies throughout the levels. The Tiki Tak Tribe has a wooden mask for their emblem, as shown on the [[Snippys]]' ship's sails, flags, bicorne and in the image gallery icon.

Both the higher and lower-rank tikis resemble a musical instrument; all of the lower-ranked ones resemble a drum. The particular instrument that a higher ranked tiki resembles is played in the background music of the associated boss fight.

Traditionally, Tikis are associated with Polynesian culture, however the Tiki Tak Tribe seems to draw more influence from African tribal culture instead. This is because of the patterns and vibrant colors each Tiki has.
