'''Klumps''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They are obese [[Kremling]]s and militaristic ground troops of the [[Kremling Krew]] as well as higher-ranked members of it.<ref>{{cite|language=en|date=1999|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong 64''  instruction booklet|page=4|quote='''INTRODUCTION''' But that pair weren't the only ones in trouble. Deep within the gloomy bowels of his latest creation, a furious King K. Rool sat on his throne, glaring down at the quaking generals of his vast Kremling army.}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong 64''  instruction booklet|page=5|date=1999|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America|quote='''INTRODUCTION''' Klump waddled over and put a consoling arm around his distraught leader.}}</ref> Klumps are sometimes referred in the singular, as if they are an individual and [[King K. Rool]]'s loyal [[wikipedia:Second-in-command|second-in-command]], as is the case for the instruction booklet, Player's Guide and trading card for ''Donkey Kong Country'', the television series, and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''; a similar case happens with [[Krusha]].

 

In the backstory, "Klump the Kremling" traps Diddy Kong in a [[DK Barrel]] before stealing the [[banana hoard]] with his group of Kremlings.<ref>{{cite|language=en|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet|page=5|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]]'s added opening cutscene, a [[Krusha]] takes over Klump's role. Klumps are depicted with brown skin, a yellow belly, and wear a green military helmet with three chevrons. They also wear a green belt with five pockets and a pair of black boots. The helmet worn by Klumps protect them from [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]]'s [[jump]]ing attack, but it still pushes back a Klump slightly. Despite their strength, Klumps can defeated from most attacks, including from a [[barrel]], [[Rambi]], being [[roll]]ed or [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheeled]] into by [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], respectively, or from Donkey Kong jumping on them. The fake ending credits in [[Gang-Plank Galleon]] credits Klump as being responsible for the game's "KONCEPT".

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and its handheld counterpart, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', enemies similar to Klump appear, known as [[Kannon]]s, which are actually Klumps dressed up in pirate gear.<ref>{{cite|quote=It looks like Klump can shoot!|language=en|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' manual|page=29|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (GBA) instruction booklet|page=23|date=2004|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref>

Klump is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. He wears green camo pants and a wooden bucket on his head, is a more subdued shade of brown, and he is larger than [[King K. Rool]]. As suggested by his stats, Klump is the rival of [[Lanky Kong]], and he can be unlocked by completing [[Candy's Challenges|Candy's Challenge 16: Beat Klump!]] Klump attacks by slamming his opponents with his belly. His bongos are brown with a metal ring on their midsections and bucket handles on their tops.

*'''Player's Guide:''' ''Klump is quite a character. He's like a big, overweight drill sergeant. He's not fast — how could he be? He waddles along like a duck, blocking every ape in his path. Donkey Kong has no trouble putting Klump out of his misery, but here again, lack of size counts against Diddy as he has to hit Klump twice to off him. If Diddy jumps on Klump's head, Klump will back up and prepare for battle. Diddy can then just do a powerful cartwheel right through him.''<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide|page=13|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|date=1994}}</ref>

*'''GBA Player's Guide:''' ''Klumps are the slowest Krocs, but also some of the toughest. Donkey Kong can take out the overweight Klumps with one jump. Diddy, however, has to roll into the Klumps to take them out.''<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Folsom, Jessica, and Steve Thomason|date=2003|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide|isbn=1-930206-33-X|page=14|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>
