Colonel Pluck

Colonel Pluck is the seventh and penultimate boss of Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. He is fought at the end of Factory in the boss level, Feather Fiend. Colonel Pluck operates and moves around in the Stompybot 3000. While Colonel Pluck is under control by the Tiki Tak Tribe, after being hypnotized by Cordian, he is forced to mass-produce an army of Tikis that Tiki Tong will use to conquer Donkey Kong Island. He does this by using the Stompybot 3000 to mash up bananas which transform into Tikis when coming in contact with masks.

Physical description
Colonel Pluck is a white chicken that wears goggles with a black frame. He has a limp, red comb on his head and has quite a long neck and wings for a chicken. He also has four tips at the end of his wing, which has function as finger for him while he is working.

Attacks
In the first phase, Colonel Pluck controls the Stompybot 3000, walking around the stage. The duo must make their way under the robot. Occasionally, it will run across the screen quickly. Sometimes, Colonel Pluck will lift the robot into the air and then perform a ground pound on the ground. When green chains appear at some point, very rarely will Pluck try to trick the apes by just scratching the floor with his mechanical feet, which Donkey and Diddy can not go under. If Donkey and Diddy fail to damage Pluck, he will roast the Kongs with a flame jet.

During the second phase, Pluck will send in some eggs, where BuckBots will hatch out. Donkey Kong must rid of these so he has enough room to avoid Pluck from trying to smash him from above.

Combat
After damaging the Stompybot 3000 three times, the robot's outer shell will break off, and will resemble a flying vehicle. Pluck, who still is inside the robot, will send in eggs at this point. Donkey Kong must dodge his attacks and stomp on Pluck three times. After this, Cordian will emerge, allowing Donkey Kong to send it flying off into the distance.

Trivia

 * Colonel Pluck's name and him being a chicken might be based on Harland David Sanders, also known as, the original founder of the chain of restaurants.
