'''Krow''' is the name of a large [[Mini-Necky]] boss who wears a black pirate hat and black suit, who is encountered in the game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. He is fought in the levels '''Krow's Nest''' of [[Gangplank Galleon]] and again in '''Kreepy Krow''' of [[Gloomy Gulch]].

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
[[File:DKC2 Krow Battle.png|thumb|left|Diddy and Dixie Kong battling '''Krow'''.]]
After [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] ventured through the rapidly decaying ship, [[Gangplank Galleon]] (located in [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|the world that shares the same name]]), they manage to reach the ship's crow's nest, where they encountered Krow. Krow's most commonly used tactic is to pick up one of his eggs and hurl it at Diddy and Dixie. He will also bang into his nest to make eggs fall from his nest.

[[File:DKC2 Krow Defeated.png|thumb|right|Krow's ghost leaving the defeated '''Krow''''s body.]]

Krow's careless use of his eggs as weapons will prove to be his undoing, as the [[Kong]]s can grab an egg that Krow throws once it stops bouncing and throw it back at him to attack. After being hit multiple times, Krow will become disoriented and begin to bash into his nest, flinging eggs everywhere. Diddy and Dixie must avoid these falling eggs and grab the ones that hit the ground and stop bouncing and hurl them at Krow, who becomes even more erratic. After being hit by a few more eggs, Krow will collapse, surrender the [[Kremkoin]] he was guarding, and die. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, the Kongs can see a short cutscene of [[Kreepy Krow|his spirit]] after they defeat him and the Kongs will then later fight him in [[Gloomy Gulch]].

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
[[File:DKL2BossKrow65.PNG|thumb|left|[[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] fighting Krow in [[Gloomy Gulch]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.]]
Krow reappears in the classic [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' as, once again, a boss of Gangplank Galleon and Gloomy Gulch, but with a few differences in the battle styles, however. In Gloomy Gulch, Krow appeared to not be a ghost so if could've simply been him or another Krow.

When [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] finishes venturing throughout the pirate ship, Gangplank Galleon, they can find Krow on in a nest. When they first encounter Krow, he flies up to his nest and grabs an egg and swoops down at the Kongs, trying to attack them and then releases the egg he is holding and releases it at the Kongs. Like the pseudo-sequel, Diddy and Dixie can simply pick up the egg and heave it at Krow to attack him. After Krow's first hit, Krow attempts to fly up to his nest and repeats the step on where he flies up to his nest. grabs an egg. swoops at the Kongs, then tries to attack the Kongs with the egg. The Kongs must again throw the egg at Krow to attack it again. Then, Krow follows the Kongs where they walk from up above to release eggs from his nest at the Kongs. Ones spinning around does not fall on the ground properly, but ones that fall straight down hit the ground so that the Kongs can use the egg as a weapon against Krow. When the Kongs hit Krow when he repeats this step again, Krow loses the battle and leaves behind the [[Kremkoin]] and moves on to [[Gloomy Gulch]]. The Kongs, then can move on to [[Krem Cauldron]].

Later in the game when Diddy and Dixie finish venturing throughout the spooky [[Gloomy Gulch]], Krow can be found on another nest. Krow first attacks the Kongs by sending a barrage of Neckies like the psuedo-sequel, but instead of the Kongs having to jump on the alive Mini-Necky to summon a barrel, they have to dodge the Mini-Neckies to summon an egg as a weapon instead of a barrel in the pseudo-sequel. After the first hit, Krow repeats his same attack, but flies upwards, preparing to move on to the top of its nest, instead of doing three floors in the pseudo sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Diddy and Dixie must repeat these steps to summon an egg so they can heave it at Krow who then flies up to the next and top level of his new nest. Diddy and Dixie, must then jump on two hooks to advance to the ropes where Krow attempts to throw eggs at the Kongs. When the Kongs reach a [[Barrel Cannon]], they get shot up to the top of Krow's new nest and this time, Krow does the same attacks, but quicker. The Kongs must avoid the Mini-Neckies quicker to summon an egg, but this time, it temporarily bounces in the air and Krow tries to attack the Kongs by swooping at them. When the egg stops bouncing, the Kongs must heave it at Krow again to attack it. The Kongs must then repeat this step to gain the second [[Kremkoin]] that Krow holds captive and the Kongs can then move on to [[K. Rool's Keep]].

==Physical Appearance==
Krow is a black Mini-Necky. He has a red beak with beady black eyes. Like most pirates, Krow has a black tricorn hat with a skull on it. He also has a brown belt with a gold buckle around his body. Krow also appears with three yellow claws on each of his talons.

==Trivia==
*The name of the boss level, "Krow's Nest", is a pun on the observation point of a ship, [[wikipedia:Crow's nest|crow's nest]].
*Krow is the only boss (besides [[King K. Rool]] and [[KAOS]]) in the entire ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series to be fought more than once in the same game.
*Despite Krow's name being a word play on the animal "[[wikipedia:crow|crow]]", Krow seems to be more related to vultures rather then actual crows.
*Strangely, although he died after the first battle, he still moves when he is defeated.

 ==History==
 ===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
-Krow is a boss in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. He is the first boss, and Krow is fought at [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Krow's Nest]] at the end of [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]]. Krow attacks by picking up a large [[egg]] from his nest and throwing it at [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. Later on, Krow's other tactic is ramming his head into his nest, causing a few eggs to fall out and for one to land on the ground. Krow can take damage from the [[Kong]]s using an egg that he threw against him. After four hits, Krow is defeated. Krow is later revealed to have died, when his ghostly form, [[Kreepy Krow]], is fought as the boss of [[Gloomy Gulch]]. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Krow is classified under the [[Barnacled Bosses]] category with the other bosses. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Krow's death is revealed prematurely, as his spirit can be seen leaving him and flying away.

 ===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
-Krow is a boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. He has the same role of being the first boss, and is encountered in the game's equivalent of [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Krow's Nest]] in Gangplank Galleon. Krow is later fought again in Gloomy Gulch as Kreepy Krow, just like before, but now both of his forms have identical sprites. Krow is fought very similarly as before and is attacked using the same method as before. Krow starts by taking a large egg from his nest, swooping to the other side, and throwing it down at the Kongs. After a second hit, Krow's attack changes to moving left and right below his nest and causing eggs to fall down the stage individually; the fifth egg lands directly on the ground without spinning. After a fourth hit, Krow is defeated. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Krow is classified under "The Baddies" along with other enemies and bosses.
