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.
'''Koshas'''<ref>''Donkey Kong 64 Instruction Booklet'', p. 31 "... but I wouldn't stray into the path of the club-wielding Koshas if I were you, which happily I'm not."</ref>, referred to as '''Clubbies''' in the [[Prima Games]] guide<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima Official Game Guide. [[Media:DK64 Prima 15.jpg|Page 15]].</ref> are small Kremlings that appear only in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. 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 for them to handle, 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 they swing their club overhead and 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, their special power which they gain from the Banana Fairy Queen (the shockwave attack) or touching them while Chunky is under the effects of his [[Hunky Chunky]] ability. They are also vulnerable to [[Orange]]s 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 stalactites raining down from the ceiling. He is eventually defeated by [[Tiny Kong]], which stops the avalanches for good.

==Trivia==
*The name is a spin on the word "cosh", another name for club.
*Kosha is similar to [[Kutlass]], an enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', in the sense that both are small Kremlings that wield heavy weapons many times their own size. In fact, the Game Boy Advance version gives Kutlass voice clips that are almost identical to Kosha's, but are higher-pitched.
*Kosha's idle animation will involve them accidentally dropping the club onto their own head, only slightly flattening it.
*Koshas are the only enemy in ''Donkey Kong 64'' that requires a special method of attack to defeat (shockwave, instrument, orange), yet drops melon slices instead of oranges. All other enemies that require being defeated through special methods drop 3 oranges.
