'''Polly Roger''' is a talking parrot and a recurring antagonist on the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]]. He was voiced by Rick Jones.

Polly's role in the show is expanded upon in his next appearance in the episode "[[Raiders of the Lost Banana]]". Here, he is shown working for [[King K. Rool]] and his [[Kremling Krew|crew]]. In this episode, K. Rool sends Polly, along with [[General Klump|Klump]] to steal the [[Crystal Coconut]]. Polly and Klump fail in their mission though due to the efforts of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] and the Klump's incompetence.

Due to this failure, K. Rool fires both Polly and Klump. Later in the episode, Polly, seemingly infuriated by his expulsion, decides to reveal to DK that K. Rool had abducted [[Candy Kong]] due to her possessing the mystical [[Golden Banana]] of [[Inka Dinka Doo]]. In the end, it is revealed that Polly's apparent epiphany was fake and that he was working against DK the entire time. Swooping in right after DK had rescued Candy and returned the Golden Banana to the Inka Dinka Doo idol, Polly steals the Golden Banana from him and Diddy and brings it to K. Rool.

In the episode "[[The Curse of Kongo Bongo]]", Polly, having seemingly wormed his way back into K. Rool's good books, is once again assigned to steal the Crystal Coconut. Polly fails to steal the coconut thanks to Cranky's defense, though he does get a consolation prize in his spell book. At first disappointed, K. Rool finds amusement in the spells by placing them on his troops. He even puts one on Polly that makes him yodel. Cranky's hologram appears demanding the book back, getting in an argument with K. Rool. As this happens, Polly finds the letter from Curse of the Double Bluebeard Baboon that has befallen the [[Donkey Kong Island|island]]. Hearing that the island will sink if the letter is read twice (the first time by DK), K. Rool threatens to read it unless given the Crystal Coconut. Despite Cranky pointing out he will doom himself, that the coconut is not working properly, and being confronted by DK and Diddy's arrival, K. Rool reads the letter anyway. Fortunately, Donkey Kong gets the book after a scuffle with K. Rool and Polly and undoes the curse, saving the island.

In the episode "[[Speak No Evil, Dude]]", it is revealed that Polly carries a fatal and contagious disease called [[Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo]]. After Diddy Kong shielded himself from his vaccination with a pair of coconuts, Polly bites him and causes Diddy to contract the disease. Diddy accidentally passes it off to [[Krusha]], who later gives it to K. Rool, each via sneeze. After Cranky bribes him, Polly mentions that Diddy is ill and later informs DK and [[Funky Kong]] that K. Rool and his minions are planning to blow up the island (thanks to the illness taking K. Rool's voice and Klump misinterpreting his plans). Polly then goes and mocks K. Rool of his eventual fate if he is not cured, before he is threatened to get the [[Tin-Banana-Tu]], its nectar being the only way to cure the disease. Polly steals the last one on the plantation before Donkey and Funky can get it, getting chased back to K. Rool's base. DK and K. Rool try to bribe Polly for banana, which he drops by accident thanks to the sudden appearance of Cranky's hologram. Polly briefly puts Donkey in a difficult situation, for if K. Rool is not cured, he cannot prevent his troops from destroying the island. Donkey Kong then comes up with a solution, recalling that the coconuts Diddy earlier used, and throws the cure into K. Rool's mouth before hurrying to Cranky's cabin. DK manages to save Diddy with coconut milk containing the Tin-Banana-Tu's nectar. As these events happen, the cured and vocal K. Rool manages to stop Klump before he can detonate the explosives on the island.
