Rock Krocs[1][2][3] (also spelled RockKrocs[4][5]) are enemies in Donkey Kong Country. They have rocky, brown skin and glowing red eyes. The official German guide for the game implies that the Rock Krocs are zombies.[6]
History
Donkey Kong Country
Rock Krocs are enemies in Donkey Kong Country. They are encountered in Stop & Go Station only, although the Player's Guide incorrectly states that they appear in more than one stage.[5] Rock Krocs are the main obstacle and feature of said stage, and Stop & Go Barrels can manipulate their movements. The Rock Krocs move continuously by default because the barrels are all set to "GO," but if the barrels are set to "STOP", every Rock Kroc curls up like a boulder and stops moving; this is required to pass through the level. However, after a few seconds, every Stop & Go Barrel reverts back to "GO", followed by the Rock Krocs getting up to continue moving. It is possible to roll through a Rock Kroc without taking damage. In the Japanese version and the second remake, if a Rock Kroc is curled up, either a barrel or Donkey Kong's Hand Slap can defeat it. When defeated, Rock Kroc releases either a banana, Banana Bunch, or an Extra Life Balloon.
Donkey Kong Country novel
An individual Rock Kroc appears as one of King K. Rool's lieutenants at the end of the Donkey Kong Country novel. Shortly after the Kongs board the Gangplank Galleon, Diddy stomps Rock Kroc's head, causing him to collapse (unlike in Donkey Kong Country).
Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle
In the novel Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle, an individual Rock Kroc leads a "squadron" of Kremlings within their factory in Big Ape City. Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong and Funky Kong encounter Rock Kroc after they are found trying to escape the factory in Funky's barrel plane. Rock Kroc and the Kremlings attempt to attack the plane, however Donkey Kong uses a TNT Barrel to rip a large hole in the factory's wall, and they escape before Rock Kroc can reach them.
Super Mario-kun
A Rock Kroc is the main antagonist of the Donkey Kong Country anticipation chapter in volume 12. Mario and Yoshi help Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong retrieving their banana hoard, protected by one Rock Kroc. DK attempts to defeat him with a Roll Attack, but he bounces back, then he grabs a TNT Barrel, but the Kremling takes advantage of his appearance to hide between the rocks of the area and, not sure who to hit, DK's barrel explodes in his hands. Mario manages to lure him out with a free cuopon and crushes him with a hammer, but the rock debris come together to create a giant rocky Rock Kroc, but it trips on banana peel left by Yoshi and comes apart. DK and Mario then crush the rocks into sand with hammers, defeating it.
