'''Hard Roc''' is the king and boss of the [[Cherry Kingdom]] during ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. Hard Roc attacks like any other [[Roc]] in the game, however he has a new attack: spitting blue meteors. Like in any Roc battle, [[Donkey Kong]] must destroy the giant black egg it's carrying.

'''Hard Roc''' is the third member of the [[Roc]] species. It is the king and boss of the [[Cherry Kingdom]] in the GameCube version of ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' and the boss of the [[Grape Kingdom]] in the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' version. Hard Roc's name is a play on "{{wp|hard rock}}", a genre of music.


Hard Roc's feathers are gray/blue gray in color, with a lighter gray neck, head, beak, yellow eyes and foot claws. Within the grasp of said claws is a black egg.

When Hard Roc is in his normal phase, he has an aresanal of attacks:


Hard Roc's attacks consist of blowing wind by flapping its wings, launching feathers at [[Donkey Kong|DK]] by doing the same thing, and firing a Shadow Meteor. When reaching below 300 HP, Hard Roc will spit three Shadow Meteors at once. It can also summon groups of [[Black Fairy|Black Fairies]]. Hard Roc can only be attacked by dazing it, which can be done by nearing it, then using the [[Sound Wave Attack]], and then launching DK back toward the egg, which he can headbutt to attack Hard Roc.
*He can fire one Shadow Meteor.
*He can flap feathers and blow wind on Donkey Kong. He can also fire feathers at Donkey Kong without the wind, and he sometimes blows wind to prevent Donkey Kong from coming near him.


When Hard Roc is defeated, its egg will explode, and Hard Roc will follow seconds after.
When the player clears the smoke around the egg, he/she can now strike the egg. When Hard Roc's HP is on 200 or less, he'll enter his anger stage which is an upgrade of his previous phase. His attacks are:
