'''Krimps''' are short, purple [[Kremling]] enemies described as "Kremdogs."<ref>{{cite|quote=Krimps are nasty Kremdogs who wander around most levels, snapping their huge jaws and chasing unwitting monkeys. You’ll soon be wishing for a rolled-up paper to get your own back!|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue #51|date=December 1996|page=21}}</ref> They appear only in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Krimps are common enemies in both games, and they are the successor to [[Klaptrap]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Klampon]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Like their predecessors, Krimps walk on fours and have a set of large, sharp teeth they constantly chomp.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Krimps are vulnerable from the back (unlike Klampons and Klaptraps) and on the top. The Kongs can quickly defeat a Krimp by either jumping onto it or throwing a [[barrel]] at it. [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] can also defeat Krimp by rolling into it from behind; they cannot roll into Krimp from the front, else it bites them. Some Krimps move faster than others, especially in later levels. When defeated in cascade levels, Krimps make a lower-pitched variation of [[Re-Koil]]'s cry, compared to the normal cry that originally belonged to [[Krusha]], [[Rambi]], and [[King K. Rool]]. Their cry also echoes when defeated in those levels. A Krimp also appears on the "Bash the Baddies!" [[Bonus Level]] title card, although activating the "COLOR" [[Cheat code|cheat]] shows a blue Krimp instead, despite none ever appearing; the color is closer to purple, since the Krimp shares an in-game palette with Dixie. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a photograph of a Krimp is classified as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]] enemy class.
