Necky

"Watch out for this high-flying foe!"

- DKC manual, pg. 28

Neckys are vulture enemies found in the Donkey Kong series. They reside on Donkey Kong Island and are constantly harassing its citizens.

Donkey Kong Country series


Their first appearance was in Donkey Kong Country where they were common enemies who attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by flying into them, they can be defeated by jumping on them or throwing a barrel at them.

necky also appear in Donkey Kong Land . Their sub-species, Mini-Neckys, are actually considered more threatening due to the fact that they spit coconut projectiles instead of simply flying along a set path

They do not make an appearance in Donkey Kong Country 2 or Donkey Kong Land 2 instead the sub-species, Mini-Neckys take their place. Neckies do not make any appearances at all in Donkey Kong Country 3, only Swoopy being remotely similar to it, as they fly in straight patterns.

Vulture-like enemies somewhat like Necky were revealed in a screenshot for Donkey Kong Country Returns, and can be seen here.

Donkey Kong 64
Three vultures which are presumably Neckys also appear in Donkey Kong 64. Two vultures can be seen in the Angry Aztec stage, one of them is carrying a Golden Banana. The third Necky however is the only one in the whole series who is not an enemy and is capable of speech.

Other
Neckys appear occasionally in the background of the Super Smash Bros. stage "Kongo Jungle". Neckys also appear in the game DK: King of Swing as enemies, this time it appears that Neckys and Mini-Neckys are one in the same. The game also has a Necky boss called Fire Necky. Neckys reappeared in DK: King of Swing's sequel, DK Jungle Climber. They also appear as obstacles in the racing game Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.
