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.
In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Koshas appear in four levels, [[Gloomy Galleon]], [[Fungi Forest]] (at night), [[Crystal Caves]], and [[Creepy Castle]]. They struggle to carry around their heavy club, which they try to smash the [[Kong]]s with. If the active Kong is hit by the club, they get squished and lose two [[melon]] slices of their health. If a Kosha swings its club overhead and misses the Kong, it struggles lifting its club for a few seconds; in this regard, they are similar to [[Kutlass]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. If the active Kong gets squished by Kosha's club, they lose two [[watermelon|melon]] slices of their health. If a Kong throws an [[orange]] at a Kosha as it notices, the Kosha will whack the orange away, rendering it ineffective.
 
Koshas can withstand most attacks due to their helmet. The Kongs can only defeat them by either using their instrument move, their shockwave ability, by [[Chunky Kong]] hitting them while under the effect of [[Hunky Chunky]], or if they throw an orange at Kosha while it is off-guard. When a Kosha gets defeated, it yells as it falls, then its club hits its head.
 
Koshas drop two melon slices when they are defeated. They are the only enemy that both requires a special move to defeat and releases melon slices from being defeated. Other enemies that can only be defeated by special move (such as [[Klump]]) release three oranges when defeated.
 
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.
