Is "Kreepy Krow" a legitimate name for this?

While it is the name of the level, the game itself (ie the credits leaving it out and Wrinkly's hint calling it "the ghost of Krow") does not seem to consider it the name of the boss itself, but rather simply "Krow," with the "kreepy" just being a description of his current state. We may want to consider merging to Krow. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:09, April 17, 2022 (EDT)

The SNES version Player's Guide seems to agree, but the GBA version does add "Kreepy Krow" to the cast roll. LinkTheLefty (talk) 05:12, April 17, 2022 (EDT)
Which isn't to say that "Kreepy Krow" wasn't in use for this version of Krow before the GBA version; Nintendo Power coverage of Donkey Kong Country 2 (Volume 79, page 26) and Donkey Kong Land 2 (Volume 88, page 85), as well as at least Australian Nintendo Magazine System coverage of Donkey Kong Land 2 (Issue #49, page 53), all refer to him as such.
