'''Krow''' is a large, black-feathered [[Mini-Necky]] and [[King K. Rool]]'s "eye in the sky."<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide|page=16|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> He first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Krow has beady black eyes and the tip of his beak is red. 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 has three yellow claws on each of his two talons. Krow's name is a word play on the animal "{{wp|crow}}", despite Neckys more closely resembling vultures than crows.


==History==
After [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and his girlfriend [[Dixie Kong]] ventured through the rapidly decaying ship Gangplank Galleon they managed to reach the ship's '''Krow's Nest''' here they encountered Krow who was itching for a battle. Krow will attempt to attack the Kongs in two ways, the first and most commonly used tactic of his is to pick up one of his eggs and hurl it at the Kongs, his second tactic is to swoop down at the Kongs.
===''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''===
Krows careless use of it's eggs as weapons will prove to be it's undoing, the Kongs can grab an egg once one stops bouncing and throw it at Krow, injuring him. Eventually after being hit multiple times by his eggs 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 stop bouncing and hurl them at Krow, who's movement begins to become more eratic. After being hit by a few more eggs Krow will finally collapse, surrender the [[Kremkoin]] he was guarding and die.
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.

==Names in other languages==
This time Krow, now a spirit, used a new attack strategy, sending a barrage of ghostly [[Mini-Necky]]s against the Kongs. The Kongs must avoid these spectral birds and jump on the one living Mini-Necky Krow sends after them, this will summon a [[barrel]] which the Kongs can hit Krow with. After being hit with this attack Krow will fly upward. After this a [[hook]] will drop nearby, and the Kongs must use this hook to reach some rigging.

{{DKC2}}
After climbing the rigging and dodging eggs thrown at them, the Kongs will reach a platform with Krow waiting for them. Krow will once again send a barrage of ghostly Mini-Neckys at the Kongs, but this time the speed and number of Mini-Neckys increases. The Kongs must once again jump on the living Mini-Necky to make a barrel appear which they can throw at Krow.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Krow inexplicably appeared once again living as the boss of [[Gangplank Galleon]]. Kreepy Krow also appears as the boss of Gloomy Gulch. Whether this is the same Krow as the one in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' or simply another Krow is unknown.
