Mini-Necky
Mini-Neckies are small, black (sometimes blue) hostile birds encountered throughout the Donkey Kong series. As the name suggests, they are miniature versions of Neckies.
The first appearance of Mini-Neckies is in Donkey Kong Country. In this game, they attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by spitting coconuts at them. They later appear in the game's pseudo-sequel, Donkey Kong Land. Here, they have the same attack patterns as they did in the previous game, and still fire coconuts at the Kongs.
Mini-Neckies next appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, where they are semi-common enemies encountered in various levels. In this game, Mini-Neckies attack Diddy and Dixie Kong by swooping down at them, and can be defeated by being jumped upon. Unlike the vultures from Donkey Kong Country, these Mini-Neckies wear red polka-dotted bandannas on their heads. Donkey Kong Country 2 also introduces a giant Necky boss named Krow; and in the Kong's battle with the ghost of Krow ("Kreepy Krow") in Gloomy Gulch, several ghostly Mini-Neckies occasionally appear and attack the Kongs. During the battle against Kreepy Krow, the Kongs have to jump on a regular Mini-Necky to make a barrel appear, which they can then use to hit Kreepy Krow. Mini-Neckies, along with Krow, reprize their roles in the Game Boy pseudo-sequel, Donkey Kong Land 2.
After a long absence, Mini-Neckies reappear in DK: King of Swing and its sequel DK Jungle Climber, where they either swoop at the Kongs or shoot coconuts. Mini-Neckies also appear inside green balloons as items in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.
