'''Krooks''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. These [[Kremling]]s wear large red, button-up trench coats, and possess [[hook]]s for hands. Krook's name is a pun on the word "crook", as well as a portmanteau of "[[Kremling]]" or "[[Kritter]]" and "hook"; this naming convention may also stem from "by hook or crook", an expression meaning "by any means necessary." Krooks resemble a normal Kritter, but they are more scaly, have bigger feet, and rounder eyes without the cats-eye slits that Kritters have. Krooks appear in several [[level]]s, and they attack by throwing a hook at [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. If the hook does not hit a [[Kong]], it will boomerang back to the Krook that threw it. Krooks can be defeated from either being [[jump]]ed on or from having a projectile thrown at it, such as a [[barrel]] or a [[crate]]. Most Krooks usually remain in one spot, though there are a few that move in a set path. Krooks usually appear in cave-themed and castle-themed levels. Additionally, in the ending's cast roll, a Krook is classified as part of the [[Kremling Kuthroats]].

{{rewrite-expand|section=y|Level appearances}}
Krooks attack by hurling their dangerous appendages at any nearby monkeys, although they only use one hand for throwing hooks. If the hooks miss, they will boomerang back. Krooks can be defeated with a simple jump on the head or by hitting them with any kind of projectile. They are usually found in caves and castles, but will occasionally appear in other levels. Most Krooks usually stay in one place, but a few do move around at a set path.
