They are only seen by their head, hence their name, and can be found in swamp and [[lava]] environments, usually in groups. Krockheads slightly resemble a giant crocodile named {{iw|wikipedia|sarcosuchus}}, due to the bulbous tip of the snout. They also resemble the {{iw|wikipedia|gharial}}, but the Krockhead's snout is not as thin as the gharial's.

Krockheads are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They appear in two colors, green and brown (changed to bright red in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version), each having their own traits. Krockheads appear in four [[level]]s: [[Hot-Head Hop]], [[Barrel Bayou (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Barrel Bayou]], [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Krockhead Klamber]], and [[Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Mudhole Marsh]]. Krockheads are most commonly found in the swamp, as Hot-Head Hop is the only lava level that the appear in. Krockheads are the main feature in Krockhead Klamber, as the name would suggest. Krockheads usually serve as dormant platforms that [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can jump from to travel across the lava or swamp. The main difference between green and brown Krockheads is that if the Kongs jump on a brown one, it opens its mouth wide, causing them to be sent high into the air. The player can hold left or right on {{button|SNES|pad}} to control which direction the Kongs go. Some brown Krockheads bounce them higher than others. In some of the swamp levels, Krockheads continuously bob themselves up and down in the water, requiring the Kongs to time their jumps accordingly or else they sink into the swamp with the Krockhead. In the second half of [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Krockhead Klamber]], there are some green Krockheads who only emerge to the surface if the Kongs touch a [[Krockhead Barrel]], but shortly after doing so, they begin to retreat back into the swamp one at a time. Brown Krockheads do not submerge into the swamp nor are they affected by a Krockhead Barrel.
