Kocos, also spelledCocos^[1] and also namedKogos,^[2] are fish enemies that first appear inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, where they are one of the most common underwater enemies, said to patrol the nearby waters ofDonkey Kong Island.^[3] They are based on the literal interpretation of aclownfish, as shown from their face paint and big red nose, and their name likely refers to the classic cartoon characterKoko the Clown. Kocos appear in red and green varieties, with their behavior being determined by their color, comparably toCheep Cheeps. Green Kocos are either stationary or move in one direction, while the red ones swim back and forth in an area. In underwater levels, there are also red Kocos that swim nonstop in a single direction. In theGame Boy Advance remake, their roles were reversed. Like other underwater enemies, Kocos can only be defeated ifEnguarde stabs them or bySquawks' eggs inPot Hole Panic. In the levelFish Food Frenzy,Dixie andKiddy are required to guide aNibbla into eating Kocos to prevent it from becoming angry and biting them. InDixie Kong's Photo Album, Kocos are classified under the "Aquatic Attackers" enemy class.

Red Kocos appear inDonkey Kong Land III, retaining the same behavior as before, something that originalWestern releases made evident only from their behavior. Two red Kocos are depicted on the game cover in all regions. Kocos are also the namesake enemy of the levelKoco Channel.
