'''Krow''' is a large, black-feathered [[Mini-Necky]] and [[King K. Rool]]'s "eye in the sky."<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1995, p. 16</ref> He first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Krow has beady black eyes and the tip of his beak is red. Like most pirates, Krow has a black tricorn hat with a skull on it. He also has a brown belt with a gold buckle around his body. Krow has three yellow claws on each of his two talons. Krow's name is a word play on the animal "{{wp|crow}}", despite Neckys more closely resembling vultures than crows.

Rool]]'s "eye in the sky"<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1995, p. 16</ref> encountered as the first boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. In both games, Krow is fought in the boss level [[Krow's Nest]] at the end of [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]]. After his boss fight, Krow dies and is later fought under his ghost alias, [[Kreepy Krow]], at [[Gloomy Gulch]].

===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Krow is the first boss, and he is fought at [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krow's Nest]] at the end of [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]]. Krow attacks by picking up a large [[egg]] from his nest and throwing it at [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. Later on, Krow's other tactic is ramming his head into his nest, causing a few eggs to fall out and for one to land on the ground. Krow can take damage from the [[Kong]]s using an egg that he threw against him. After four hits, Krow is defeated. Krow is later revealed to have died, when his ghostly form, [[Kreepy Krow]], is fought as the boss of [[Gloomy Gulch]]. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Krow is classified under the [[Barnacled Bosses]] category with the other bosses. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Krow's death is revealed prematurely, as his spirit can be seen leaving him and flying away.

In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] fight Krow at [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krow's Nest]] at the end of [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]].
[[File:Krows Nest DKC2 GBA defeated.png|thumb|Krow's ghost leaving his body]]
In the first half of the battle, Krow picks up a large egg from his nest and hurls it at the [[Kong]]s. Later into the battle, Krow's other tactic is ramming his head into his nest. This causes a few large eggs to individually fall from the nest, and one lands on the ground. In both parts of the battle, the Kongs can attack Krow by either throwing or running into him with a large egg. After taking four hits, Krow is defeated and relinquishes the [[Kremkoin]] he was guarding. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, it is revealed that Krow died as his spirit can be seen leaving him and floating away). Diddy and Dixie later fight Krow in his ghostly form, [[Kreepy Krow]], at [[Gloomy Gulch]].


During the ending's Cast of Characters, Krow is classified under the [[Barnacled Bosses]] category with the other bosses.

Krow reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', reprising his role as the boss of Gangplank Galleon and being fought at [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Krow's Nest]], as well as later being fought in Gloomy Gulch as Kreepy Krow, whose sprites are now shared with Krow's. Krow is fought very similarly as before and is attacked using the same method as before. Krow starts by taking a large egg from his nest, swooping to the other side, and throwing it down at the Kongs. After a second hit, Krow's attack changes to moving left and right below his nest and causing eggs to fall down the stage individually; the fifth egg lands directly on the ground without spinning. After a fourth hit, Krow is defeated. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Krow is classified under "The Baddies" along with other enemies and bosses.

Krow reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', reprising his role as the boss of Gangplank Galleon and being fought at [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Krow's Nest]].
 
The battle is very similar to that from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. During the first half, Krow takes a large egg from his nest, swoops to the other side, and throws it down at the Kongs. Krow can be attacked if Diddy or Dixie hit him with a large egg. During the second half, starting from when Krow takes a second hit, his attack changes to moving left and right below his nest and causing eggs to individually fall down the stage. The fifth egg lands directly on the ground without spinning, which the Kongs can pick up and attack Krow with. This process repeats itself one more time. When he gets hit a fourth time, Krow is defeated.
 
Like in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', Krow returns in Gloomy Gulch under his ghost alias, Kreepy Krow. Both Krow and his ghost form have the same in-game sprite. During the ending Cast of Characters, Krow is classified under "The Baddies" along with other enemies and bosses.
