Dread Kong is a large intimidating looking Kong and the first boss faced in the game Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Dread Kong is the ruler of the Banana Kingdom, which is the first kingdom Donkey Kong ventures through. The fight for Dread Kong is fought upon treetops, and being the first boss, is the easiest of the Kong bosses faced. Dread Kong later appears at the end of game ceremony where he, along with the other Kongs faced, honors Donkey Kong's victory over the evil Ghastly King.
