These blue-skinned, red-spotted, quadrupedal [[Kremling]]s with a big head, large jaws, and bulging eyes. Klampons are described in the game's manual as being the bigger brothers of [[Klaptrap]]s. Similar enemies named [[Krimp]]s replace Klampons in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''

'''Klampons''' are blue-skinned, red-spotted, quadrupedal [[Kremling]]s that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are the big brothers of [[Klaptrap]]s, a similar enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and have a big head, large jaws, and bulging eyes similar to theirs. Klampons do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', where they were replaced by [[Krimp]]s.

===''Donkey Kong'' franchise===
Klampons are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', behaving identically in both games. Klampons attack by repeatedly chomping their jaws while moving back and forth. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] cannot roll into a Klampon from the side because this injures them, but a Klampon can be defeated from a [[jump]] attack, having a [[barrel]] or [[crate]] thrown at it, from an [[Animal Friend]], or from being rolled into from above. Klampons have a functional opposite, [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Spinies]], which are protected from jumping attacks but are vulnerable to frontal attacks, and the enemies are encountered together in [[Castle Crush]]. In the cast roll, Klampons are classified as part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
Klampons act very similarly to Klaptraps, but are notably bigger and move slower. Klampons attack by repeatedly chomping their jaws while moving back and forth. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] cannot roll into a Klampon from the side because this injures them; they also turn around to prevent being rolled into from the back. The Kongs can defeat a Klampon by [[jump]]ing on it, throwing a [[barrel]] or [[crate]] at it, or using an [[Animal Friend]]. In addition, unlike the case with Klaptraps, the Kongs can roll into a Klampon from above, if they roll from a platform higher than a Klampon.


Klampons have the same defeated voice clips as [[Klomp]]s and several other Kremlings in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' only, but are mute in the game's [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]].
Klampons sometimes appear alongside their functional opposite, [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]], who are immune to jump attacks but are vulnerable to frontal attacks. One such example is in [[Castle Crush]], where defeating either enemy may accidentally lead the [[Kong]]s to injury from the other one.


===''Super Mario-kun''===
According to the game's credits, Klampons belong to the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.
[[File:KlamponKun.png|thumb|150px|Klampon in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
A Klampon makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Klampon.


===''Donkey Konga 2''===
====''Donkey Konga 2''====
Artwork of a Klampon sometimes appears onscreen in "Freestyle Zone" in response to the player hitting the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]], in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''.
In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Klampons make a cameo in "Freestyle Zone", where their artwork pops on-screen in response to the player hitting the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]].
