Orco the Killer Whale, also known as Orco the Orca is a large blue killer whale who Donkey Kong encounters in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.
Orco is found wandering around aimlessly. Donkey Kong can come up to Orco and grab on to her dorsal fin, which will let Donkey Kong ride it. Orco is like Enguarde the Swordfish in terms of skills; she can smash through underwater barriers and jump out of the water and reach high heights. Many refer to Orco as a Male, usually due to 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, is actually a Female. 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 Buddy, Glimmer, who is referred to as male despite resembling a female anglerfish.
