Their tough skin protects them from any attack, so [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must avoid them. Rock Krocs have the ability to move back and forth at very fast speeds, which causes the [[Kong]]s to have little to no room for escape. The official German guide for the game implies that the Rock Krocs are zombies.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/donkey-kong-country-snes-offizieller-nintendo-spieleberater/page/n41/mode/2up ''Donkey Kong Country'' German player's guide], page 44</ref>

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Rock Krocs only appear in one level, [[Stop & Go Station]], as the main hazard and level feature. The movement of Rock Krocs is manipulated by the use of [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s. By default, the Rock Krocs move because the barrels are all set to "GO", but if the barrels are set to "STOP", every Rock Kroc curls up like a boulder and ceases movement, giving the Kongs an opportunity to safely pass them without being harmed. Additionally, in the Japanese version, if a Rock Kroc is curled up, either a [[barrel]] or Donkey Kong's [[Hand Slap]] can defeat it. When defeated, Rock Kroc releases either a [[banana]], Banana Bunch, or an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. However, after a few seconds, every Stop & Go Barrel reverts back to "GO", followed by the Rock Krocs getting up to continue moving. It is possible to [[roll]] through a Rock Kroc without taking damage.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], like the original Japanese release, Rock Krocs can be defeated by Donkey Kong's Hand Slap. There is also a [[photograph]] of Rock Kroc in Stop & Go Station, located before the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter O]], and once the photograph is collected, it appears under the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]]'s fourth page.
