'''General Klump''' (also known as '''Klump''' or '''Klumpy''') is [[King K. Rool]]'s second-command and general in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]] where he is one of the show's main characters. He was voiced by [[Adrian Truss]]. Despite most [[Klump]]s being depicted as brown, he is a lime green color.

Rool]]'s second-in-command and general in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]] where he is one of the show's main characters. He was voiced by Adrian Truss and speaks in a heavy southern United States accent. Despite most [[Klump]]s having brown skin, his is lime green.


Despite being constantly berated and disrespected by K. Rool (even being fired a few times by him), Klump remains ever faithful to him, even stating in the episode "[[Klump's Lumps]]" (which is centered around Klump being fired) that serving K. Rool is his life. Perhaps due to his loyalty and/or the fact that K. Rool's other minions, especially [[Krusha]], are just too dimwitted to be organized, Klump is often put in charge of K. Rool's various plots and schemes.

Despite his tough military-man like exterior, Klump is quite a softie in reality; he actually befriends [[Dixie Kong]] and helps her find her pet lobster [[Thermidor]] in the aforementioned episode, "Klump's Lumps".

According to Klump in the episode "[[Speak No Evil, Dude]]," he is immune to illness due to the fact that he eats at least 100 garlic cloves a day. In the same episode, he is dimwitted enough to misinterpret Rool's laryngitis and suffocation as an order to blow up the entire island, or even to fall for Diddy's ploy of being a talking bush after accidentally sneezing near Klump and Krusha while hiding from them. Even when Cranky Kong pointed out the idiocy of such an order - especially since Klump would also be killed in the blast - Klump ignored the Kong and nearly completed the operation.

Much of Klump's origin was revealed in the Christmas themed episode "[[The Kongo Bongo Festival of Lights]]". This episode reveals that as a young boy, Klump ended up causing a huge fire which devastated the swamp where he and his family lived. Klump's older brother, revealed to be the infamous pirate and K. Rool's rival, [[Kaptain Skurvy]], decided to take the blame for Klump in a show of true brotherly love. This resulted in Skurvy's banishment from the home swamp. Klump only recalled vague memories of these events until Skurvy reveals everything to him. The end of the episode reveals that Klump had planned on joining Skurvy's crew, but was presumably dissuaded by King K. Rool based on later episodes.

==Trivia==
*General Klump, along with Krusha, have their character models used in a commercial for the Game Boy Color remake of ''Donkey Kong Country'', in which they fight Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Rambi the Rhino for the possession of a giant GBC system. The commercial features models of the former four characters as depicted in the second season of the animated series, with Rambi being presented in a similar style (despite never being featured in the show itself).
[[File:KremlingKroo.png|thumb|A singular, high-ranking Klump from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'']]
 
*In the story section of the ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' manual, a singular Klump is referred to as being among K. Rool's generals, who comforts K. Rool after he throws a fake tantrum upon the [[Blast-O-Matic]] failing. Due to ''Donkey Kong 64''{{'}}s occasional allusions to the series, this may be intended to be the same character. However, due to the only Klump close to K. Rool in the game itself being the same pinkish color as most Klumps in the game, it may, in fact, be unintentional.
