Hawg

Hawgs are major enemies in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. They generally do not attack Donkey Kong, instead damaging him by letting him collide with them.

They first appear in the Banana Kingdom's level "Dawn Savanna" as small, black pigs, called Black Butapokkī, which the player must jump on and use the Bongos/Wii Remote to punch and defeat.

A larger variety of Hawg, a Sleeping Hawg, appears later in the level, where the player uses sound waves to weaken it and then punch it 15 times to defeat it, causing it to give off five Bananas, unlike their smaller counterparts, which give off 3 Bananas.

In the next level, "Jungle Deeps", another large Hawg called a Gale Hawg appears. These Hawgs do not attack, instead pushing Donkey Kong back by using wind unleashed from their snouts. They are defeated like Sleeping Hawgs.

A white sub-species of Hawg called White Butapokkī are found later in the Watermelon Kingdom's level "Desert Oasis". They can be defeated in almost the same way as the larger Hawg, except with only one hit, of which can be used as a short-range object that can daze other enemies.

Later, a large, bipedal Hawg called a Cocopī appears, of which can throw melons at the player, which must be reflected into the tree. It also throws spiked fruit, which the player must avoid. By punching three melons back at it, the tree will collapse and the Hawg will fall out of the tree, defeating it and causing five bananas to appear.

In the Strawberry Kingdom's level "Spirit Tree", a camouflage sub-species of Hawg called Charging Hawgs appear. These are defeated like normal Hawgs, but they controlled by a red Ninjape and ram Donkey Kong, hurting him. They can be defeated like Sleeping Hawgs and Gale Hawgs.

Another species known as the Flame Hawg later appears in the Melon Kingdom's level "Banshee Swamp". These are also controlled by a red Ninjape, but hurt Donkey Kong by spewing fire out of their snouts. They are defeated like all large Hawgs.
