- —Ostrich Elder, Donkey Kong Bananza
The Ostrich Elder is one of the five elders in Donkey Kong Bananza. She is a large ostrich that wears sneakers (similar to Expresso) and headphones. She resides in the Forest Layer, and can either be the second or third elder met, depending on if the player chooses to go there or the Freezer Layer first from The Divide. In addition to being a DJ, she is also the manager of the Eggshell Hotel. She grants Pauline the ability to transform Donkey Kong into the Ostrich Bananza transformation during the Bananza ceremony.
Ostrich Elder's Rehearsal Hall, located in her subconscious, is based around facilities she hopes to add to the Eggshell Hotel one day.[1]
In one of the stone tablets written by Exploritone, she personally escorted the Fractone to the sinkhole.

Ostrich: Allow me to let you in on a little secret, honored guests. This is the elder's subconscious. Real as I may seem…I am but a figment of her imagination. The Sizzle-Wing Circus, Bouncy-Bounce Park, and Tower of Turbulence you'll encounter here… Why, the elder dreams of building facilities like this in the Eggshell Hotel someday.
