King Zing

"But I must warn you: My stings are... pretty bad..."

King Zing is a boss character in the Prismverse Saga.

History
King Zing appears as a boss in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest. It's a large Zinger that spews out stingers, summons smaller Zingers to support him and also charges at the player.

In Prismverse Saga
King Zing first appears in SMATSP as a mini-boss, fought in Undergrowth Assault. It fights pretty much similar to when it was fought in DKC2, but there is ground that can be stood on due to the game style.

His later appearances are unknown.

Boss Battle
King Zing moves vertically as he attacks:


 * King Zing spews out stingers every 4 seconds.
 * Hornets come from above every 6 seconds, and a Zinger circles in front of King Zing, blocking a potential attack.

After defeated, King Zing comes back for a second phase: (His stinger attack remains the same)


 * Hornets come from above every 4 seconds, and two Zingers circle in the arena.

After defeated, the boss flees, leaving a Power Star behind.

Trivia

 * The music that plays in his fight is Boss 5/Queen Bee from Terraria.
 * King Zing is the only boss in SMATSP that originates from a different game other than Mario.

Lore
King Zing is the ruler of all Zingers, leads a colony of bees and hornets that switch locations every 6 months. Despite he's called "King", he is also the queen of them, reproducing Zingers and smaller Hornets as well as smaller bees that preserve the honey source of the world.

But something went wrong as the usage of a Star Prism caused the colony leader to go berserk on inhabitants of a jungle town underground, causing terror.
