'''Orco''' (known as '''Shachee''' in Japanese and the British [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] version) is a large blue {{wp|killer whale}} and a [[Jungle Buddy]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. His name comes from "orca", the official name of "killer whale". Orco is generally found simply wandering around aimlessly. [[Donkey Kong]] can approach Orco and grab on to his dorsal fin to ride him. Like [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]], Orco can smash through underwater barriers. He can also leap out of the water and reach heights.

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.
