Wild Sting
Template:Character-infobox Wild Sting is a flying stingray and the first boss of Donkey Kong Land. He appears in Gangplank Galleon Ahoy! in the end boss level, Wild Sting Fling. His name is likely inspired by the phrase Wild Thing.
Wild Sting attacks by flying back-and-forth across the screen, occasionally swooping down at the Kongs. 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 Bunches fall from the top of the screen, and continue to the bottom if not caught first.
Wild Sting resembles the Flotsams from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and could be the inspiration for them.
