Neckys are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They have one of two behaviors: throwing coconuts while perched or flying left or right continuously. Neckys can be defeated from either being [[stomp]]ed or being hit by a [[barrel]]. The coconut-throwing type can also be defeated from being rolled into. Their coconuts can damage the [[Kong]]s. The flying Neckys are often required to cross gaps or to enter a [[Bonus Barrel]], such as the ones at the start of [[Tree Top Town]] and [[Snow Barrel Blast]]. There are two Necky bosses, [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]], both only ever seen by their head.

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Neckys are common enemies who appear in many levels, especially in [[Vine Valley (world)|Vine Valley]]. There are two types of Neckys: one is perched and throws coconuts in a predetermined direction, while the other flies straightforward. Both types can be defeated if [[stomp]]ed or from having a [[barrel]] thrown at them. Additionally, coconut-throwing Neckys can also be defeated from being rolled into. Their coconuts can damage the [[Kong]]s. The flying Neckys are often required to cross gaps or to enter a [[Bonus Barrel]], such as the ones at the start of [[Tree Top Town]] and [[Snow Barrel Blast]]. The flying Neckys appear in more levels than the coconut-throwing variant. There are two Necky bosses, both only ever seen by their head, [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]]
