Manky Kong
Manky Kongs are long-armed orang-utans found in the game Donkey Kong Country.
Manky Kongs are semi-common enemies found mostly in later levels of the game. Manky Kongs attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by hurling barrels at them in continuous pattern. Donkey and Diddy must avoid these barrels and jump on a Manky Kong's head to defeat it.
Manky Kongs first appear in the level Orang-utan Gang. There, they attack to the Kongs from their spots located on the treetops of the jungle. Later levels, normally, they appear in high places for throwing the barrels, dealing as obstacles.
Aside from the various remakes of Donkey Kong Country Manky Kongs have not appeared again, though another orangutan named Lanky Kong appears in the game Donkey Kong 64.
