Mo-Hog is a member of theHog species that appears in the gameDonkey Kong Jungle Beat. He is one of the four Hog bossesDonkey Kong encounters. He is the king of theStrawberry Kingdom in the GameCube version ofDonkey Kong Jungle Beat and the king of theLemon Kingdom in the Wii'sNew Play Control! version. His name is a portmanteau of "mohawk", his hairstyle, and "hog".
Mo-Hog appears as a pig-like creature, with light tan skin, pink eyes, black hooves and horns, and a grey mohawk.
Mo-Hog is fought by Donkey Kong outside of what appears to theSpirit Tree. His attacks include throwing electrified melons at Donkey Kong, who must clap to make them lose their electric charge and then throw them back at it. This stuns the boss, giving Donkey Kong a brief moment to pummel him. He can also charge electricity and fly at Donkey Kong, then slash at him. Mo-Hog also slashes DK if he gets too close to him. Mo-Hog is the first Hog to use the electrical charge and throw melons faster than usual. Additionally, he is the only boss in the game to become enraged at 400 health rather than 300.
After Donkey Kong delivers the final-blow to Mo-Hog, theStrawberry Kingdom (or theLemon Kingdom on the Wii) is cleared.
