Gale Hawg

Gale Hawgs, also known as Pig Poppos, are pig enemies found in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. They are red with darker red engravings on their bodies and commonly appear in front of tunnels or near pits. They attempt to prevent Donkey Kong from progressing to the goal by creating mild gales, as their name implies, or even blow Donkey Kong into another obstacle or enemy. Some Gale Hawgs have tusks, making them difficult to attack head-on as the tusks can damage Donkey Kong if he collides with them. A Gale Hawg can be defeated by using a sound wave, and then repeatedly punching it while it is dazed. Gale Hawg later reappears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a sticker.

Trivia

 * Gale Hawg exists as an unused model in Super Mario Galaxy, missing all but its running animation from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.
