'''Kloaks''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' only, being one of the few enemies from the game to not return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Kloaks are undead [[Kremling]]s serving as part of the [[Kremling Krew]], and are floating green, buttoned waistcoats with skull buttons, a yellow undershirt, red cuffs, and a pair of glowing, red eyes beneath their red collar. Their coats are similar to the ones worn by [[Krook]]s. Kloaks attack by throwing objects at [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], such as [[Crate]]s and [[Barrel]]s, or enemies like [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Spinies]] and [[Zinger]]s. However, some Kloaks may throw a useful item, like a [[Treasure Chest]] or [[Banana]]s. These enemies let out a menacing laugh as they pick out something to throw. Each Kloak throws a certain number of objects, and some Kloaks only throw one thing. After throwing something, the Kloak floats away, although some first swoop at the [[Kong]]s before leaving. A Kloak can be defeated from either having a projectile thrown at it, such as a [[Treasure Chest]], being [[jump]]ed on, a [[Team-up]] throw, or from an [[Animal Friend]]. Kloaks have the same defeated voice clip as [[Klinger]]s and [[Krook]]s. In [[Barrel Bayou (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Barrel Bayou]], there is a Kloak who throws a Treasure Chest containing a [[Cannonball|kannonball]], which can only be opened by hitting the Kloak with the Chest. In the cast roll, a Kloak is classified as part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" with the other [[Kremling]]s.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], a Kloak additionally appears in the [[Funky's Flights (Bonus Game)|Funky's Flights]] mission [[Cool Sounds]], where it guards [[Funky Kong]]'s lost ghetto blaster deep in an ice cave. This Kloak attacks by throwing [[barrel]]s, and unlike other enemies, defeating it requires several shots from the [[Gyrocopter]], instead of just one. Kloaks were also given a different laugh, which is a stock sound effect from the Cartoon Trax Volume 1 sound effects library by The Hollywood Edge. The same laugh has also been used by [[Rare]] in other ''Donkey Kong'' games, such as [[King K. Rool]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', and [[Kroc]] in the Game Boy Advance remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. Additionally, if the player pauses the game as Kloak is defeated, its laugh can be heard in its normal manner, rather than getting deeper and slower.
Kloaks appear in four levels. They first appear in [[Barrel Bayou (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Barrel Bayou]] and return in [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Bramble Scramble]], [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Ghostly Grove]], and lastly [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Screech's Sprint]]. In Barrel Bayou, there is a Kloak who throws down a Treasure Chest containing a [[Cannonball|kannonball]], which can only be opened by hitting the Kloak with the Chest. Aside from levels, a Kloak also appears in the end credits, where it is categorized as part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" class, which indicates they are [[Kremling]]s.

As revealed by game designer [[Gregg Mayles]], Kloak (or at least a Kremling magician enemy with that name) was originally intended to debut in the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', but was cut.<ref>{{cite|author=Ghoulyboy|date=August 10, 2018|url=x.com/Ghoulyboy/status/1027946702270021638|language=en-gb|title=Never expected this tweet about #KingKRool in #SmashBros to be so popular.
