Orco

Orco the Killer Whale (previously known as Shachee in Europe) is a large blue Killer whale who Donkey Kong encounters in the game Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. His name comes from "Orca", the official name of the Killer whale.

Generally Orco is found simply wandering around aimlessly, Donkey Kong can come up to Orco and grab on to his dorsal fin, Donkey Kong can then ride Orco. Like Enguarde the Swordfish, Orco can smash through underwater barriers, and can also leap out of the water and reach extreme heights. Orco has several smaller killer whales follow behind him, leading some to believe he is female, as this only happens with female whales in Real Life. While the New Play Control! version of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat specifically referred to him as a "he", this could have been a mistake, similar to how Watt was erroneously called a male in Super Paper Mario.
