Orco, also known as Shachee in European regions, is an orca and a supporting character in the video game Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. He wanders aimlessly and accidenta and Orco's name comes from "orca", the official name of the aquatic mammal species also known as the killer whale.
Usually Orco is found wandering aimlessly, but when he has to help Donkey Kong he immediately runs to him and grabs hold of his dorsal fin and rides him. Orco is similar to Enguarde the Swordfish in terms of abilities; she can break through underwater obstacles and jump out of the water to reach great heights.

Trivia[]
In New Game Control!, the Orco is referred to as a male, despite many characteristics relative to real-world female orcas. His dorsal fin resembles the shorter and curved one of a female orca, compared to a male's which is longer and triangular. Also, many baby orca whales follow Orco in the game, similar to real-world dolphins.
Orco's trait is similar to Glimmer, who is referred to as male despite resembling a female anglerfish.
