Orco

Orco the Killer Whale is a large blue killer whale who Donkey Kong encounters in the game Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

Generally Orco is found simply wandering around aimlessely, Donkey Kong can come up to Orco and grab on to her dorsal fin, Donkey 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.

Trivia

 * In Donkey Kong Jungle Beat's British manual Orco is known as "Shachee".
 * Her apperance and name may be based on the Kirby boss Acro the Killer Whale.
