Koco

Kocos are clown-faced fish that are found in the waters of the Northern Kremisphere. Kocos first appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. They are one of the most common underwater enemies. Kocos bear a resemblance to Cheep-Cheeps of the Mario series. Kocos, like Cheep-Cheeps, come in the colors red and green and swim in a set pattern depending on color. Green Kocos remain completely still, while the red variety either swim forward without stopping or will simply swim forward a small amount and turn around. Kocos can only be defeated with aid from Enguarde the Swordfish or Nibbla.

Kocos are also in Donkey Kong Land III. They remain basically the same in this appearance as the previous one. Two Kocos appear on the game's box art.

Trivia

 * According to the game's credits, Kocos belong to the "Aquatic Attackers" enemy class.
 * In the Game Boy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country 3, Koco's color schemes are reversed - stationary Kocos are red, and moving ones are green.
 * Koco's face looks like a clown, and this is a reference to the real life species of Clownfish.
