They are [[Kremling]]s that wear a [[barrel]] for a disguise. Klobbers are green-skinned, have a light green belly, and black eye (as shown from its purple eyelid). Klobbers have small ears, and each one has a large hoop earring pierced into them, though not in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. As shown in their official artwork render, Klobbers have a patch on their right cheek. In most of their appearances, the barrel worn by Klobbers is missing both the bottom and top lids, although in ''Donkey Kong 64'', the top lid is placed on Klobber's head. As Klobbers move around, they carry their barrel around with them, and only poke out their head and feet. Klobbers stick their feet out from the bottom of the barrel. They have three big toes, each one sporting a large claw-shaped toenail.

Klobbers are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. At first, a Klobber looks like an ordinary [[barrel]], which they hide inside of, but when [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] approach a Klobber, it reveals itself and runs after the [[Kong]]s, attempting to repeatedly knock into them. As it runs, Klobbers makes a noise similar to the sound of tires screeching. Unlike most other enemies, Klobbers cannot hurt the Kongs on contact, but it can push them into a [[pit]] or a different hazard, including an enemy. A Klobber stops moving and retreats into its barrel for a short time if the Kongs either jump onto it or throw a projectile at it. The Kongs can grab the Barrel that the Klobber is hiding in and throw it in the manner of an ordinary barrel, which defeats the Klobber as a result. Klobbers can also be defeated from touching [[bramble]]s or any other environmental hazard.

Aside from their explosive [[TNT Barrel]] counterpart, [[Kaboom]]s, Klobbers have two additional color variations of their own: yellow ones and gray ones with red eyes. The difference is that each time a yellow Klobber hits Diddy and Dixie, they drop a [[Banana Bunch]], while the gray ones cause them to drop a [[Red Balloon]] for each hit; for either type, the Kongs have to quickly recollect the items before they disappear. Both the yellow and gray Klobbers are less common, especially the latter type, and mostly just appear in later [[K. Rool's Keep]] levels and [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]] levels. All three Klobber types appear throughout [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Klobber Karnage]]. In the end credits, Klobbers all appear under the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.

Though Klobbers do not appear in the sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', a successor to them, [[Knocka]]s, do appear.

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===

Klobbers are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. All of them behave like the standard green type, and do not appear in color varieties, since the [[Game Boy]] hardware does not support full color. Their titular level, [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Klobber Karnage]], also returns, but has an entirely different layout. Klobbers appear in "The Baddies" category of the end credits.

Green Klobbers and [[Kaboom|TNT Bomber]]s also return in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are uncommon enemies, appearing only in [[Angry Aztec]], [[Gloomy Galleon]], and [[Crystal Caves]]. When encountered, Klobbers shout "C'mon" and can damage a Kong by running into them or if the Kong tries to directly attack them. A Klobber can be defeated from either shockwave attack, an [[orange]], or a musical instrument move.

 

A Klobber is among the character artworks that can briefly appear on-screen in Freestyle Zone of ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'' as the player hits the beats.

Klobbers are enemies in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They are the only other Kremling enemies besides [[Kritter]]s. A Klobber climbs on [[Peg]]s and tries to bounce into the Kongs. Only two Klobbers appear, both within a very foggy area of [[Spooky Woods]], and the player has to refer to the bottom screen's map to determine where the Klobbers are on [[Peg Board]]s.
