-'''Awks''' are blue-colored parrot enemies, who appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.  They first appeared in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] area of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. Awks basically move around from left to right, posing a very little threat to [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. However, they can quite often be bounced off by the [[Kong]]s in order to reach higher platforms and obtain important items such as [[Coin]]s and [[Puzzle Piece]]s.  They can be defeated with any attack method.

+'''Awks''' are blue squatting parrots that appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They are among the weakest enemies of the game, and only appear throughout the first world, [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]]. They have tougher, larger variants known as [[Rawk]]s, which appear much later in the [[Ruins]] and [[Golden Temple]].

+Awks are mainly turquoise, with some purple on the underside, green wing feathers, and red-colored tail feathers, neck, eyebrows and eyelids. They have orange legs with yellow stripes. Their body feathers obscure their neck, making it appear short, when it is actually long and skinny.
-Awks also have a relative, known as [[Rawk]]s.  Unlike Awks, Rawks are colored red, and are more aggressive.  When a Rawk spots any of the playable Kongs, it'll start to run faster, attempting to take them out.  However, like with the Awks, Rawks aren't too threatening themselves, since they too can be beaten with any attack method.
-While Awks only appeared in the Jungle area, Rawks are also found in the [[Ruins]] and the [[Golden Temple]].
+Behaviorally, Awks are the equivalent to [[Gnawty|Gnawties]] from the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as their only pattern involves moving from left to right. Their only way of attacking [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] is by walking into them. Awks may sometimes appear in small groups together. The [[Kong]]s can defeat Awks by bouncing onto them, allowing them to reach higher platforms and sometimes items like [[banana]]s, [[Banana Coin]]s, or even a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]].
