-Skowl is a large, gray owl with a thick, braided beard and a brown chest plate. He has thick, white eyebrows, yellow eyes, and orange talons and beak. Skowl wears a viking helmet with antler horns and the [[Snowmads|Snowmad]] symbol in the middle. As he takes on damage, the tips of Skowl's feathers gain a red coloration that progresses in brightness upon losing a third and then two thirds of his health, respectively.
-===Attacks===
+Skowl's wing feathers are grayish-white. During the boss battle, the tips of Skowl's feathers gain a red coloration that progresses in brightness upon him taking a third and a sixth hit, respectively.
-Initially, Skowl's attacks are limited to shooting a wide fan of feather missiles and summoning eggs which damage the Kongs if they hit them from below. Some of these eggs contain small [[Hootz]]es, which can be jumped on and used as projectiles against Skowl. During the later phases of the battle, when the arena is in the air, Skowl also gains the ability to summon windstorms, use a harder-to-avoid feather projectile attack, call in fleets of flying [[Pointy Tucks]] and do a swooping talon attack across the battlefield. Skowl's wings can also turn into a ice wing and shoot spiked ice ball that go on the corner and then it goes to the other while falling in the process.
-===Combat===
+==History==
-To defeat Skowl, the player will have to stun one of the mini Hootzes and pick it up. The player has to throw the mini Hootzes at Skowl to damage him. After Skowl has been hit nine times, he will be defeated. On a side note, players can only jump on Skowl when he loses his helmet.
+When the [[Kong]]s enter inside the owl-shaped lair, they see Hootzes gather around Skowl, who uses his hammer to smash a banana. The Kongs react by yelling in shock, which gains the attention of Skowl, who angrily hoots at the Kongs, thus triggering the start of the boss fight.
+Initially, Skowl's attacks are limited to shooting a wide fan of feather missiles and summoning eggs down onto the arena. These eggs damage the Kongs if they hit them from below. Some of these eggs contain small [[Hootz]]es, which can be jumped on and used as projectiles against Skowl.
+In the latter two phases of the battle, each in a different area of the boss level, Skowl uses more attacks. This includes creating a windstorm by flapping his wings, shooting feather projectile attack, call in fleets of flying Hootz with viking helmets to swoop onto the platform at the Kongs. Skowl also turns his wings to ice and sends out a huge spiked ice ball to the opposite end of the platform. The ice ball continues to roll in a direction until falling off the platform. Late into the battle, Skowl sends large eggs onto the arena, each one containing three Hootzes, and Skowl appears inside the fifth large egg.
+To attack Skowl, Donkey Kong just jump on a baby Hootz to flip it over and pick it up. He must then throw it at Skowl. To hit Skowl an eighth time, after Skowl falls out his large egg, he loses his viking helmet, and Donkey Kong can jump on its head to attack it. Skowl gets defeated after taking nine hits in total.
