| '''Klampons''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. 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!]]'' | |
|

|
| ==History==
| | They appear as blue and red-spotted crocodiles with small bodies, big heads and jaws, and bulging eyes. They are relatives of [[Klaptraps]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Indeed they bear an extreme resemblance to each other, although the Klampon is a bit larger than a Klaptrap. Both enemies share the same way of attack, and are invulnerable to a frontal attack as well as an attack from behind. However a [[stomp]] will take care of them. Klampons are also vulnerable from a cartwheel or spin attack from above, unlike Klaptrap. Sometimes Klampons appear with their functional opposites (weak to frontal attacks but immune to [[jump]] attacks), the [[Spiny (Donkey Kong)|Spinies]]. This makes it harder to defeat the group of enemies, as defeating one may accidentally lead to being hurt by the other. |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' ===
| |
| 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.

| |
|
| 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]].
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *According to the game's credits, Klampons belong to the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class. |

| |
| 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.

| |
| 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]]''.
