Coco Pig

Cocopīes (ココピー, which translates as Coconut Tweet) are a species of pig-like creatures in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

They reside on Palm trees and serve as a mini-boss in the game. When Donkey Kong confronts a Cocopi, it will hurl coconuts and chestnuts at him from the tree. If one of the projectiles hits him, Donkey Kong will lose beats (a heart in the New Play Control version). Donkey Kong can deflect the objects with his Sound Wave Attack, punching one back at the palm tree. Once the tree is hit three times, it breaks apart and the Cocopi is defeated, leaving behind 5 bananas.

Cocopīes first appear at end of the second level of Watermelon Kingdom, Desert Oasis and later appear in Cactus Mine and Asteroid Belt. Two Cocopīes appear in both Aurora Glacier, and Magma Coliseum.

Trivia

 * Cocopīe appears as an unused model under the name CocoPig in Super Mario Galaxy.
