Editing Kremling

The '''Kremlings''' (also known as the '''Krems'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Vol. 44|date=November 1996|page=20|quote='''HERE COME THE KREMLINGS!:''' As well as plenty of the old pros from DKC2, whole new kinds of Kremling are there to be discovered, from bazooka wielding manics like the Krems to old favorites like the Krunchas and the king sized Zingers, there's enough in here to test your gameplay skills to the very limits!}}</ref> and '''Krocs''', or '''Reptiles'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Computer Animation: A Whole New World''|isbn=1564963772|date=1998|publisher=Rockport Publishers|page=89|language=en}}</ref> and '''Crocodiles'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Computer Animation: A Whole New World''|date=1998|publisher=Rockport Publishers|page=87|isbn=1564963772|language=en}}</ref> in production literature for the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]]) are a race of crocodilians first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', where they steal [[Donkey Kong]]'s prized [[banana hoard]]. Kremlings come in many different varieties and most of them have names that begin with the letter "K" (to the point where some names use real words beginning with "C" with the initial replaced with "K", such as [[Kalypso]] from "calypso") Most Kremlings are part of the [[Kremling Krew]] (with [[K. Lumsy]] being a notable exception). Kremlings also made a few appearances in various sports titles in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise; they are seen in the background of the [[DK Jungle Court]] in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and take on the role of goalies in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', while in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', they appear as team players.

The Kremlings appear to originate from [[Crocodile Isle]], an island close to [[Donkey Kong Island]] that disappeared from the map during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. According to that game's manual, it is rumored that the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] is the source of the Kremlings.<ref>{{cite|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo|language=en-us|url=www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_SNES/manual/Formated/Donkey_Kong_Country_2-_Diddy-s_Kong_Quest_-_1995_-_Nintendo.pdf|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=22}}</ref> However, various ruins on Donkey Kong Island, such as the ones in [[Millstone Mayhem]], depict Kremling visages, potentially meaning they have some history there as well. [[Kremlantis]] is a semi-submerged complex that also features several temples with Kremling visages.

The Kremlings are known to enjoy eating [[banana]]s, and Klump is also seen eating [[orange]]s;<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet|page=4|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1994|author=Nintendo}}</ref><ref>{{cite|quote=I hear they like bananas. Blech...|author=Viridi|title=[[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]], ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''}}</ref>  coincidentally, this trait is shared with real-life crocodiles, which have been shown in more recent research to occasionally eat fruit.

Kremlings are known to be rather apathetic regarding industrial safety; this can be seen with [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]], [[Krazy Kremland]], [[Mekanos]], [[K3]], [[Frantic Factory]], [[Ghost Island]], and [[Chill 'n' Char Island]], the factories making up the first of these being referred to by the ''Donkey Kong Country'' manual as "The Kremling's crowning industrial achievements."<ref>{{cite|quote=The Kremling's crowning industrial achievements are the huge factories they built in Donkey Kong Country. These factories do not adhere to strict safety codes, and are full of burning oil drums, faulty lighting and perilous platforms. Enter at your own risk.|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet|page=20|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1994|author=Nintendo}}</ref> From this, they tend to cause large amounts of pollution, as seen with [[Poison Pond]], and show general neglect for the environment, as shown in their [[Ripsaw Rage|deforesting]] in Mekanos for the sole purpose of defeating the Kongs.<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Kent Miller, and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''

In contrast to other intelligent animal species that are technologically primitive, the Kremlings possess relatively advanced resources, including [[Dumb Drum|robots]], [[The Flying Krock|airships]], [[Knautilus|submarines]], [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|warships]], [[King Kruizer IV|spaceships]], and [[Blast-o-Matic|powerful weapons]].
