'''Klingers''' | '''Klingers''' are [[Kremling]]s with the capability of climbing ropes and chains. Klingers are orange-skinned, yellow-bellied Kremlings with a long, scaly tail. They wear a green, white-spotted head bandana and a matching loincloth around the waist. Klingers (aside from [[Klobber]]s) are among the few Kremlings to have ears, in which they have a hoop earring for each one. Klingers have clawed toes but their fingers do not. Their artwork also depicts them having a large dagger in their mouth, though it does not appear in-game. Klingers do not have an instinctive climbing ability, but were instead trained specifically to achieve this ability.<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Nintendo Player's Guide|page=13|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> Klingers first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. | ||

Klingers are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They are first encountered in [[Mainbrace Mayhem (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Mainbrace Mayhem]]. Klingers repeatedly climb up a rope or another object, such as a chain, before sliding down, usually making it harder for [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to get across the ropes. A Klinger can be defeated by any attack. The affected Klinger falls off the rope when defeated. Like most other enemies, if Diddy or Dixie touch a Klinger, the player loses that [[Kong]]. In [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Krockhead Klamber]], the Klingers are climbing on cattails. Later on, Klingers noticeably appear as in [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Chain Link Chamber]] as the main enemies encountered. In the ending credits, Klingers are classified under "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" along with the other Kremlings. | Klingers are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
