Necky

Neckys are large brown vultures that prowl the skies of Donkey Kong Island.

The first appearance of Neckys was in the game Donkey Kong Country, here they were common enemies. Neckys will try to attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by flying into them or by throwing coconuts at them. Neckys can be defeated by simply jumping on them or by throwing a barrel at them. Donkey Kong Country also features two Necky bosses named Master Necky and Master Necky Snr.

Neckys also appear in Donkey Kong Country's Game Boy sequel, Donkey Kong Land. In this game Neckys are once again common enemies.

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2 a sub-species of Neckys, called Mini-Neckys are introduced. Though Mini-Neckys are, as the name would imply small in size they are somewhat more vicious than regular Neckys. Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Land 2 also has a Mini-Necky boss named Krow.

Neither Neckys or Mini-Neckys appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble or Donkey Kong Land 3.

In Donkey Kong 64 two vultures that are presumably Neckys appear in the area Angry Aztec. One of these vultures, which is found in the temple Tiny Kong is found in is encountered by Lanky Kong. This Necky must be blasted several times with Lanky's Grape Shooter in order to cause it to drop the Golden Banana it is carrying.

Another Necky, which is also encountered in Angry Aztec near Snide's HQ is actually benevolent and capable of speech. This Necky, after it is freed from the cage it is trapped in by Diddy Kong will challenge Diddy to a game; if Diddy can fly through all the rings the Necky drops he will obtain a Golden Banana.

In the game Super Smash Bros. Neckys can sometimes be seen flying in the backround of the arena, Congo Jungle. In Super Smash Bros.'s sequel, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Neckys can be seen in the backround of the arena Jungle Japes.

Neckys also appear in the game DK: King of Swing as enemies. The game also has a Necky boss called Fire Necky.

Neckys will be reappearing in DK: King of Swing's sequel, DK Jungle Climber. They also appear as obstacles in the upcoming racing game Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast.

Neckys seem to be affiliated with the Kremling Krew.
