Fire Necky, the volcanic bird.

Fire Necky is a large flaming Necky and boss in the game DK: King of Swing.

Fire Necky is encountered by Donkey Kong in the level "Fire Necky's Nest" in the area Wild West World. Fire Necky would attack Donkey Kong by trying to fly into him and engulf him in it's flaming body. Donkey must avoid this attack and wait for Fire Necky to start spitting flaming rocks at him; Donkey must wait for these rocks to become extinguished and grab them when they do so. These rocks must be thrown at Fire Necky, after being hit multiple times Fire Necky will finally be grounded. Donkey can then collect the DK Coin Fire Necky was guarding.

Trivia

• The appearance of Fire Necky, that of a fire engulfed bird may be based of the legendary Phoenix.

• Interestingly the manul for DK: King of Swing describes Fire Necky as "the boss of the Neckies".
