Roc

Rocs are a species of birds found in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. All Rocs found in the game are rulers of various kingdoms. All of the Rocs Donkey Kong faces must be defeated by breaking the huge black egg they carry.

The attacks the Rocs use primarily consist of firing Shadow Meteors, creating wind, and launching feathers.

There are four known types of Roc: Thunder Roc, Hard Roc, Fleet Roc, and Scruff Roc.

Trivia

 * Even though the black eggs aren't directly connected to them, their bodies seen exploding after the destruction of their eggs. It is possible the reasoning for this is that the first explosion (caused by the black egg) is the one that causes the birds to explode shortly afterward.
 * Rocs may be based off the Persian legend of giant eagles called Rocs.
