Davy Bones, undead scourge of the sea.
Davy Bones is a large, skeletal eel boss in the game DK: King of Swing.
Davy Bones is encountered by Donkey Kong in the Aqua World. Davy Bones would try to attack Donkey Kong by lunging at him from one of the holes it inhabits. Whenever Davy does this Donkey must grab hold of a small red spot on Davy's tail and swing him into a nearby row of spikes. After bashing Davy into these spikes several times the zombified sea creature will explode and Donkey will obtain the golden medal that Davy was guarding.
Trivia
- The name "Davy Bones" is derived from the old sea legend of Davy Jones' Locker; in fact, the level Davy Bones is encountered in is called "Davy Bones' Locker".
- Davy Bones bares limited resemblance to the Yoshi's Story enemy Bone Dragon. Interestingly, the two characters' posing in their official artwork is also very uncanny.
- In DK: King of Swing's sequel, DK: Jungle Climber, there is a dragon boss that is very similar to Davy Bones in both appearance and the way Donkey Kong fights it.
