Information
First appearance	Level 7

Health	1 HP
Game	Shovel Pirate

Tribe minions are enemies in Shovel Pirate. They are found in all jungle levels.

Physical appearance

Tribe minions have a round peach-colored body that is thinner at the top and wider at the bottom, similar to that of the pirate. They have a pair of orange hands and feet. They also wear a tall mask that appears to be wooden and has three thin green leaves at the top. There are two square-shaped black holes in the mask.

Behavior

Tribe minions can be found walking on the ground or on pink bricks, turning at ledges and walls. Their mask is tall enough to occupy nearby elevated platforms above them and can cause the pirate to take damage if hit even when they are not on the same ground.

Strategy

Tribe minions can be defeated if hit with the pirate's shovel from behind. If hit from the front side facing the mask, the tribe minion will not be defeated and instead be knocked back. It is possible to knock a tribe minion back until it hits a wall and turns with its back due to the bounce facing the pirate. If there is open space when the tribe minion is knocked back, it will fall onto lower platforms and continue walking along the ground. The player, as a result, can knock some tribe minions onto lower ground to trigger traps, which will defeat the enemy on contact with the arrow.
