Fire Pig Poppo

Fire Butapoppos (ファイアブタポッポ) are a sub-species of Hawg that appear in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. They are colored black, have orange eyes, and are commonly seen with a red Ninjape on top of them. Fire Butapoppos attack by inhaling, then breathing fire out of their snouts.

A Fire Butapoppo first appears in the level Banshee Swamp, on the other side of a pit of blue fire. They appeared soon after, in the level Battle for Storm Hill on the top of one of the fortresses. It later appears in the same kingdom in the level Aerie Fortress. However, three Fire Butapoppos appear at the same time on different platforms.

Ghastly King and Cactus King use a gigantic Fire Butapoppo as mounts at the beginning of their battles. They spit a continuous stream of fire out of their snouts. Donkey Kong must use the Sound Wave Attack to deflect the flames and eventually stun them by doing so. He can then attack the stunned Hawg by punching it; it takes fifteen punches to defeat it. After doing so, the kings destroy their mounts by landing on it. Their defeat is a likely reason for the 800 beats gained at the end of the battle.
