Hogwash the Flying Pig
Template:Species-infobox Hogwash the Flying Pig[1] is the name given to any member from a species of pigs capable of flight that appear only in the game Donkey Kong Land. Hogwashes are notable for being one of the few enemies who appear in the Donkey Kong Land series but not the Donkey Kong Country series. Their name comes from hogwash, meaning nonsense or bunk; their species concept appears to come from the phrase "when pigs fly", which means something is impossible to happen.
During the development of Donkey Kong Land, Hogwashes were known as Rashers[2]
Description
In the game, Hogwashes are used by the Kremling Krew during their re-conquest of Donkey Kong Island. These pigs are basic air-grunts, roaming the skies for intruders. They normally fly back and forth or in one direction, and can be defeated with one single jump, similarly to Neckies from Donkey Kong Country and Flitters from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.
