Unlike most [[Kremling]]s, they are brown, and also wear horned Viking-esque helmets. Also unique is their method of attack: they carry around gigantic, spiked clubs, too heavy even for the Koshas, which they attempt to smash the Kongs with. If the club hits any the Kongs, two melon slices are taken away from their health meter. If the club misses, the Kosha struggles to lift it again for a moment. |

| | Koshas are too powerful even for [[Chunky Kong]] to defeat; the only ways to defeat them are to use the selected Kong's instrument, or their special power which they gain from the Banana Fairy Queen (the shockwave attack). They are also vulnerable to [[Orange Grenade|orange grenades]] if they are thrown when the Kosha is off guard. Koshas are relatively rare, and appear in [[Gloomy Galleon]], [[Fungi Forest]] (at night), [[Crystal Caves]], and [[Creepy Castle]]. |

| | A gigantic Kosha is stationed in an area near the top of the cavern in Crystal Caves. Every once in a while, the club-toting fiend smashes the ceiling of the cave, creating violent tremors that send boulders and stalactite deposits raining down from the ceiling. He is eventually defeated, which stops the avalanches for good. |

Their name plays on the word "cosh," another name for club. Koshas appear in [[Gloomy Galleon]], [[Fungi Forest]] (at night), [[Crystal Caves]], and [[Creepy Castle]] (including its lobby in [[DK Isles]]). Although they are small, Koshas are formidable, and they wear a gray viking helmet and carry around a large, spiked club, but struggle to carry it around. A Kosha tries to smash the player character with its club, costing them two [[watermelon|melon]] slices if hit, though if a Kosha swings its club overhead and misses, it struggles lifting its club for a few seconds, a characteristic comparable to [[Kutlass]]es in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. A Kosha's helmet allows it to withstand most attacks, and a Kosha's club allows it to deflect any [[orange]]s thrown at it. A Kosha can be defeated either from a Kong's musical instrument move, their [[Super Slam|shockwave ability]], by [[Chunky Kong]] hitting them while under the effect of [[Hunky Chunky]], or from an orange if it is off-guard. A Kosha's defeat animation shows it yelling while falling, then its club hits its head. A Kosha's spoils from being defeated are two [[Watermelon|melon slices]]. Koshas have an idle animation where they accidentally drop their club onto their head, slightly flattening them. | |

| A [[Giant Viking Kremling|gigantic Kosha]] is stationed near the top of Crystal Caves. It smashes the ceiling of the cave at regular intervals, creating violent tremors that send stalactites raining down in the level, though defeating it stops the stalactites from falling.
| | ==Trivia== |
| {{br|left}}
| | *Koshas are, in several ways similar to [[Kutlass]], as both are small Kremlings who carry large weapons too big for them to handle. However the Kosha is much harder to defeat than the Kutlass. |
| | *The Japanese name for Kosha is the same as [[Klubba]]. |
| | *The name is a spin on the word "cosh." |
