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.
| | '''Kosha'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s are small Kremlings that appeared only in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Unlike most [[Kremling]]s, they were brown, and also wore horned Viking-esque helmets. Also unique was their method of attack; they carried around gigantic, spiked clubs, too heavy even for the huge Kosha's, which they attempted to smash the Kongs with. If the club hit any the Kongs, two melon slices would be taken away from their health meter. If the club missed, the Kosha would struggle to lift it again for a moment. |

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

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

| | ==Trivia== |
| | *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 name is a spin on the word "kosher." |
