'''Hootzes''' are | '''Hootzes''' are owl-like members of [[Snowmads]] and common enemies who appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They act similarly to the [[Tiki Buzz]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. | ||
Hootzes do not actively attack the [[Kong]]s, only flying around in a set area. As with other enemies, if the Kongs come into contact with a Hootz, they lose a heart point. Hootz paths of movement include straight and circular lines and might appear in groups of two or more. Hootzes can be defeated with any attack, the safest being a [[stomp]] or [[barrel]] throw. If the Kongs bounce on them, they can receive an additional height boost, aside from defeating them. | |||

Although they are present in most levels of the game, [[Autumn Heights]] is the island that seems to be themed after and dedicated to various species of Hootz. This is judged by their prominence and the numerous owl statues and constructions found there. In [[Bopopolis]], arrangements of Hootz are used to bounce over bottomless [[pit]]s. There are enemies related to Hootzes, which include [[Puffton]]s and [[Blue Hootz]]es. Their leader, [[Skowl]], resides in the summit of Autumn Heights.
