'''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 a species of 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. Kongs 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 are not all 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.
==General information==
===Name===
The name "Kong" comes from a Japanese slang word for "gorilla."<ref>{{cite|author=De Maria, Rusel, and Wilson, Johnny L.|date=December 18, 2003|title=''High Score!: The Illustrated History of Electronic Games''|format=2nd edition|location=New York|publisher=McGraw-Hill/Osborne|isbn=9780072231724|language=en}}</ref>

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. However, “going ape” is a phrase that can be used for Kongs as well!|publisher=X|accessdate=February 15, 2024}}</ref>

===Society===
In the games, the society of Kongs lives on Donkey Kong Island, living in houses made of wood, usually built on top of trees. Donkey Kong is their king, though sometimes Cranky Kong fills the role of being a leader. Generic Kongs are not commonly seen, with most known members of the species being individual characters.

The instruction booklet for ''Donkey Kong Country'' states that Manky Kongs were rejected by the Kongs. Despite this, Lanky Kong, who is an orangutan himself, is friendly to the Kongs and also part of the Kong Family.

''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', in contrast to the games, depicts the Kongs living in a bigger society and being more technologically advanced, having an entire factory dedicated to the manufacturing of [[kart]]s.

===Diet===
Kongs usually take a strong liking to [[banana]]s, which are the subject of many stories involving the species. In particular, Donkey Kong has a cave full of them and is constantly seen eating them. Despite this, Kongs are also seen eating other kinds of food.

===Speech===
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]] and in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'', Kongs are capable of speaking intelligibly. However, in most games where Kongs appear alongside other species, particularly humans, as demonstrated in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' and the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]], they simply say the word "Ook" followed by a translation of what they are saying in parentheses. Sometimes they do not speak at all, such as in ''Saturday Supercade''.

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]].

Though only officialized in ''Donkey Kong Country'', the concept of a family of Kongs dates back to ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]''

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).

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!
