Gong-Oh

Gong-O

h is a leading member of the Tiki Tak Tribe who appears in the boss level Ruined Roost in the Ruins, where it both hatches and hypnotizes Stu to attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, by using his telepathic powers to break the platform below a large gong, and dropping the embryo of Stu into a pot below.

Gong-Oh's tune is just like Kalimba's tune, but with one hit of the gong playing in the background and slightly echoing.

Appearanceedit | edit source
Gong-Oh has a large gong connected to it’s head and two skinny arms with circular hands, similar to Xylobone. It has eyes that are different in a way from the other leaders; they are backwards colored. it also has 3 creases on the lower part of it face. One thing that is notable about the tiki is that it also has its instrument attached to it, not it being the instrument, but rather the gong has multiple strings attached to it, as well as the tiki’s head. A small detail is that the tiki’s eyes look strained, as they have dark colored eye flaps that looks like a sign of tiredness.
