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. Despite his fearsome appearance, Dread Kong is actually the weakest of the Kongs faced in the game as he was easily defeated by Donkey Kong in their battle on the treetops. Dread Kong later appears at the end of game ceremony where he, along with the other Kongs faced honor Donkey Kong's victory over the evil Ghastly King.
