'''Orco''' (known as '''Shachee''' in Japan and the European [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] version) is a large blue [[wikipedia:Killer whale|killer whale]] who [[Donkey Kong]] encounters as a [[Jungle Buddy]] in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. Orco's name comes from "Orca", the official name of the killer whale.

Generally, Orco is found simply wandering around aimlessly. Donkey Kong can come up to Orco and grab on to her dorsal fin, allowing him to ride her. Like [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]], Orco can smash through underwater barriers and can also leap out of the water and reach extreme heights. Orco has several smaller killer whales follow behind her, implying that Orco is female, as this only happens with female whales in real life, though killer whales are technically dolphins. Additionally, Orco's dorsal fin resembles the shorter, more curved dorsal fin of a female killer whale rather than the longer, triangular dorsal fin of a male killer whale. While the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' version of ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' specifically referred to it as a "he", this could have been a mistake, similar to how [[Watt]] was erroneously called a male in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

-The ''[[New Play Control!]]'' version specifically refers to Orco as "he", officially identifying him as male. Despite this, Orco has several traits that are more commonly associated with real-world female killer whales. Most notably, Orco's dorsal fin resembles the shorter, more curved one of a female killer whale as opposed to the longer, triangular dorsal fin of a male killer whale. Additionally, several smaller killer whales follow behind Orco, which is a trait shared with real world dolphins. This is a similar case to an aquatic Animal Friend, [[Glimmer]], who is referred to as male despite resembling a female anglerfish.
