Template:Species-infobox Hogwashes[1] are a species of flying pigs that appear only in the game Donkey Kong Land. Hogwashes are notable for being one of the few enemies who appear in the Donkey Kong Land series but not the Donkey Kong Country series. Their name comes from hogwash, meaning nonsense or bunk; and their species concept appears to come from the phrase "when pigs fly", to mean something is impossible to happen.

Descripiton

In the game, Hogwashes are used by the Kremling Krew during their re-conquest of Donkey Kong Island. These pigs are basic air-grunts, roaming the skies for intruders. They normally fly back and forth or in one direction, and can be defeated with one single jump, similarly to Neckies from Donkey Kong Country and Flitters from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.
