'''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.


Krimps appear in ten levels in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Krimps appear in two more levels, both located in [[Pacifica]]:
'''Krimps''' are the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' equivalent of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''{{'}}s [[Klaptrap]]s and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]''{{'}}s [[Klampon]]s. They are fully vulnerable on the back side (unlike the Klampon and Klaptrap) and on the top, but if hit from the front, they will reconcile with a swift bite. They get faster as the game progresses, which makes them harder to avoid or defeat. Even though [[Kobble]]s are the basic soldier of the [[Kremling]]s in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Krimps outnumber them greatly. According to the game's credits, Krimps belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class. Krimps also make an appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' with no changes. Krimps wear a spiked collar around their neck.

*When defeated in cascade levels, the sound they make is a lower-pitched version of [[Re-Koil|Re-Koil's]] cry, compared to the normal cry that originally belonged to [[Krusha]]. Their cry also echoes when defeated in those levels.
*When the "Color" [[Cheat code|cheat]] is activated, a blue Krimp can be seen on the "Bash the baddies!" bonus screen, but no Krimps in the game appear in that color.
*The artwork for the Kongs in [[Demolition Drain-Pipe]] shows them being chased by a Krimp, but no Krimps appear in that level.
