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. | |

| ==History==
| | Klobbers first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as common enemies. Klobbers will hide in their barrels and wait for [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]], when the duo approach, Klobbers will attempt to charge into the [[Kong]]s with intent of shoving them into other enemies, into an abyss or something equally as bad. The Kongs can knock a Klobber unconscious by bonking it on the head (either by jumping on it or throwing something at it). After a Klobber is knocked out the Kongs can use the barrel as a weapon. Sometimes Klobbers will run off the edge of an abyss, just by chasing a Kong. |

| |
| 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.
| | A yellow version of Klobber also exists. These yellow Klobbers use the same strategy as the green variety (hiding in a barrel and charging recklessly when the Kongs approach). The major difference between the green and yellow Klobbers is that the yellow variety can make the Kongs drop their collected [[Banana Bunch]]es. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | Also, gray Klobbers with red eyes exist as well. These Klobbers are the most dangerous. As whenever they hit the Kongs, they cause them to drop a [[Balloon]]. The majority of gray Klobbers are found in the [[Lost World]]. |

| |
| [[File:KlobberKun.jpg|thumb|100px|A Klobber in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
| |
| A Klobber makes a brief cameo in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 14|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 Klobber.
| |
|
| |
|
| In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 15|Volume 15]], before the heroes board the [[Gangplank Galleon]] taking advantage of the frozen sea, [[King K. Rool]] throws Klobbers at them, but Mario and Yoshi, with their [[fireball]]s and [[Fire watermelon|red watermelon]] respectively, burn them. In the next chapter, a Klobber traps DK in a cage during the final battle, where he would remain for the rest of the chapter.
| | Red Klobbers (known as [[Kaboom]]s) also make an appearance. However, they hide in [[TNT Barrel]]s instead and explode whenever they make contact into any Kong. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
| | The green Klobber variety appears in ''Donkey Kong Country 2's'' pseudo-sequel ''[[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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong 64''===
| | Enemies similar to Klobbers, called [[Knocka]]s appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]''. |
| [[File:Klobber DK64.png|thumb|80px|''Donkey Kong 64'' model]]
| |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Konga 2''===
| | Green Klobbers and [[Kaboom]]s also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Here they were uncommon enemies, found only in [[Angry Aztec]], [[Gloomy Galleon]], and certain areas in [[Crystal Caves]]. This time, Klobbers actually ''do'' hurt the Kongs when they run into them. They were also immune to almost all of the Kongs' attacks. However, a shockwave attack or an [[Orange Grenade|orange grenade]] can take them out. |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
| | Klobbers also appear in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''. Klobbers most recently appeared in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they are uncommon enemies since two only appear in [[Spooky Woods]], and can climb on [[Peg]]s and try to bounce into the Kongs. |
| 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. | |
