'''Wild Sting''' is a stingray that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. He is the game's very first boss, found at the end of [[Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!]], in the level, [[Wild Sting Fling]]. Strangely, this underwater creature is able to float above land. Wild Sting resembles the [[Flotsam]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and could be the inspiration for them.

During the battle against Wild Sting, the foe swoops down and attempts to attack the [[Kong]]s. At that time, the heroes need to jump up and land on him. This damages the enemy, but does not yet fully knock him out. Wild Sting continues to swoop at the primates as the battle progresses, going back and forth. They must bounce on him again to deal more damage, although that still does not faze the villain. As they continue to jump on him, Wild String becomes even angrier, and swoops at them much faster than before, making it even harder to land on him. Finally though, when the Kongs bounce on him for the seventh time, he falls off the stage and the heroes win the battle. After that, three [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]es fall from the sky, which the heroes must catch before the level ends.
Wild Sting attacks by flying side-to-side, occasionally swooping down at [[Kong]]s. This leaves him open to attack via jumping. After enough hits, Wild Sting becomes faster and more aggressive, and starts waiting until he has gone off-screen to turn around. After seven hits, he is defeated for good, and three [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]es fall from the top of the screen, and continue to the bottom if not caught first.


The words in the level's name [[King Zing Sting]] from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' are composed in a same manner as Wild Sting Fling.
Also, the creature's name is probably a pun on the famous song ''Wild Thing''.
