'''Fire Necky''' is a large, {{wp|Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix}}-like fiery [[Necky]] and the second boss of ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. He is the boss of [[Wild West World]] and is fought during the level [[Fire Necky's Nest]]. According to the game's instruction booklet, Fire Necky is the leader of the Neckys. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', there are also two Necky bosses, [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]], which are notable members of their species.


Fire Necky is encountered by [[Donkey Kong]] in the level "[[Fire Necky's Nest]]" in the area [[Wild West World]]. Fire Necky would attack Donkey Kong by trying to fly into him and engulf him in its flaming body. Donkey must avoid this attack and wait for Fire Necky to start spitting flaming rocks at him; Donkey must wait for these rocks to become extinguished and grab them when they do so. These rocks must be thrown at Fire Necky. After being hit multiple times Fire Necky will finally be grounded. Donkey can then collect the [[DK Coin|golden medal]] Fire Necky was guarding.
Fire Necky attacks by trying to fly into the [[Kong]] (whether it is Donkey Kong or [[Diddy Kong]]) and engulf him in his flaming body. The player must avoid this attack and wait for Fire Necky to start spitting flaming rocks at them; Donkey or Diddy Kong must wait for the rocks to extinguish before picking one up and throwing it at Fire Necky as an attack. After being hit once, Fire Necky begins to slowly chase the Kong, still being vulnerable to rocks thrown at him. Once he is hit multiple times, the behemoth Necky is finally grounded. When he is defeated, Donkey or Diddy can collect the [[Medal (DK: King of Swing)|golden medal]] the creature was guarding and access the [[Aqua World]]. By obtaining it, the player unlocks Obstacle Race 2 to the Jungle Jams mode.


==Trivia==
As mentioned before, Fire Necky is fought in a level known as Fire Necky's Nest. The stage features three rows of peg boards in order of colors, and many pegs around the outside. After Fire Necky shoots the small pegs, rocks are also created for use to attack him.
* The appearance of Fire Necky, that of a fire engulfed bird, may be based off the legendary [[Wikipedia: Phoenix|Phoenix]].

* In the ''DK: King of Swing'' manual Fire Necky is described as the "boss of the Neckies" however, [[Master Necky Snr.]], the sixth boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and guardian of the [[Chimp Caverns]] , is rumored to be the leader of the Neckies.
