'''Kongs''' (known as '''Apes''' in production literature for the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]])<ref>{{cite|title=''Computer Animation: A Whole New World''|date=1998|publisher=Rockport Publishers|page=87|isbn=1564963772}}</ref> are | '''Kongs''' (also known as '''Apes''' in production literature for the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]])<ref>{{cite|title=''Computer Animation: A Whole New World''|date=1998|publisher=Rockport Publishers|page=87|isbn=1564963772}}</ref> are sapient primates that make up much of the cast of the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise, with the [[Donkey Kong|eponymous character]] himself being one. They are capable of actions such as speech and building houses and typically wear clothing, though the amount varies drastically with the individual, with Donkey Kong himself wearing only a tie, while many others wear full outfits. Kongs seem to be native to [[Donkey Kong Island]], and they share an animosity with much of the crocodilian [[Kremling]] race. While most of them share the surname "Kong," they do not all appear to be directly related to one another. Kongs can resemble any number of real-life primates, with Donkey Kong, [[Funky Kong]], and several others resembling gorillas; [[Diddy Kong]] resembling a monkey; [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Tiny Kong]] resembling chimpanzees; and [[Lanky Kong]] resembling an orangutan. | ||
Generic names of various real-life types of primates, such as "monkeys," "chimps," "gorillas," and "apes," are used fairly interchangeably to describe Kongs, especially in earlier media such as ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' and the ''Donkey Kong Country'' cartoon, which never refer to Kongs as such outside their individual names. However, the term "baboon" seems to be reserved as an insult, potentially due to it sounding similar to the word "buffoon," and is even used against other species, such as [[Cranky Kong]] using it against [[Krusha]] in "[[From Zero to Hero]]." Despite this, Kongs are their own species separate from apes.<ref>{{cite|author=KRoolKountry|date=January 15, 2024|url=x.com/KRoolKountry/status/1747120247826702486|title=Just a reminder that Donkey Kong is not an ape—he is a Kong.

The patriarch of the family is Cranky Kong, the original Donkey Kong. In the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise of video games, members of the Kong Family are either playable characters or supporting characters that aid the main heroes on their journey, although they also receive help from allies outside the family, including the [[Animal Friends]] and the [[Kremling]] [[K. Lumsy]]. | ||
The family often uses the initials "DK" as a symbol, which most often represents Donkey Kong. It is seen on Donkey Kong's tie, [[DK Barrel]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, the [[Level Flag]]s, [[DK Space]]s, and various other objects around Donkey Kong Island. The symbol is also used in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], although in this context, it is used as the logo for the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise in general instead of just the Kong Family members (since [[King K. Rool]] and [[Klaptrap]]s also use it). | The family often uses the initials "DK" as a symbol, which most often represents Donkey Kong.

According to [[Gregg Mayles]], the characters were loosely intended to be an actual family, but the extended relations were left deliberately vague by the release of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' due to uncanny details such as [[Diddy Kong]] having a tail and [[Candy Kong]] looking humanoid, as more priority was put in diversifying the designs rather than fitting it into a cohesive family tree background.<ref>{{cite|author=GameXplain|date=November 16, 2019|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX3g9Z3JF9k&t=1626s|timestamp=27:06|title=Talking with Rare's Creative Director for DKC's 25th Anniversary!
