Mini-Necky

Mini-Neckys are a miniature species of Necky that have appeared throughout the Donkey Kong series. They first appeared in Donkey Kong Country. The only notable Mini-Necky in the series is Krow who acted as a boss in Donkey Kong Country 2.

Enemy Description
Mini-Neckys are very small in size and this makes them tough targets depending on the location. Their main forms of attack are shooting coconuts from their mouths in a set location, or swooping down towards their enemies. Mini-Neckys did the former in the original DKC, and we quite annoying seeing as they do not stop firing. Rarely, Mini-Neckys can be moving while firing, often up and down. In the latter case, in DKC2, Mini-Neckys would wait until Diddy or Dixie would get within their range and swoop down with a screech. Ghost forms of the Mini-Neckys appear in the battle with Kreepy Krow.

Donkey Kong Country/Land
Mini-Necky debuts in Donkey Kong Country alongside regular Neckys. Despite being a mere "Mini-" species, they could be considered more threatening than regular Neckys because they have the ability to fire small, deadly coconuts from their mouth at a moderately fast rate. Mini-Neckys were somewhat rare in comparison to their adult superiors.

Mini-Neckys return in Donkey Kong Land, with all their traits from Donkey Kong Country.

Donkey Kong Country 2/Land 2
The Mini-Necky return in Donkey Kong Country's sequel, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Here they were also semi-rare enemies found in some levels. Mini-Neckys have a different role than their DKC incarnation; instead of shooting coconuts, they simply dive forward in the direction of the Kongs when they come too close. This makes the Mini-Neckys somewhat like the regular Necky. Also fitting with the darker pirate theme, the Mini-Necky now wear bandannas and have a deeper voice (heard when diving). Also, a Mini-Necky boss by the name of Krow appears as the first boss, oddly seen before any of the regular Mini-Necky.

Mini-Neckys reappear in the game's follow up game Donkey Kong Land 2 (who, this time, is simply called "Necky"), unchanged alongside Krow.

Spin-off appearances
Mini-Neckys return after a period of absence in DK: King of Swing and DK Jungle Climber. Mini-Necky here has it's attacks from both DKC and DKC2; they either swoop in or shoot coconuts. Mini-Neckies also appear inside green balloons as items in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.
