Krow

Krow (Japanese: ゾッキー, Zocky ) is a gigantic Mini-Necky that rules as the boss of the Gangplank Galleon during the events of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. Krow's attack pattern differs from the regular Mini-Necky's.

Krow is quite a unique boss in the fact that he is not fought only once; an undead version is later fought later in the game known as Kreepy Krow.

Summary
Krow can be found at the end of the abandoned Gangplank Galleon, residing in the ship's crow nest. Krow appears to have settled in and made his own nest between the events of Donkey Kong Country and DKC2. When the Kongs enter the nest, Krow will screech and fly up to his nest. He will then drop an egg, without aiming it towards the Kongs, on the battlefield. The egg should bounce a few times and then stop. Diddy/Dixie can then pick it up like an ordinary barrel and throw it at Krow. After a few hits, Krow will get desperate and ram himself into the nest in order to rain down eggs, which must be avoided. One should land, and be used as a projectile.

In Donkey Kong Land 2, he will swoop in with an egg, and Diddy/Dixie must jump over him, and then he will drop the egg, which must be thrown at him. After doing this twice he will ram into the mast and eggs will rain down, and the last of it will be a grabbable egg.

Trivia

 * Two Banana Coins can be found above the nest, by using the team-up ability to get up there.
 * Only the Gameboy Advance remake of the game actually had a sequence showing Krow's ghost leave his dead body, foreshadowing the future battle in Gloomy Gulch. This short scene was actually the closest thing in the DKC series to showing reality of a boss actually being 'killed'.
